Almost a God
Almost a God
—Emanuel Carnevali
I am dying under this heat
but there may be worse.
I love my wife
but I should love her more.
I love my sweetheart but her love should be more universal.
One word describes her but I do not know which word.
All shorter than something else:
All is more God-like than something else.
There is competition in the chaos,
which is very foolish.
I am in doubt as a bent willow branch
nodding to the water.
I admire the devil for he leaves things unfinished.
I admire God for he finishes everything.
