The Refrigerator
1984
Don’t ask, my heart
don’t beat
bitterness, fairytales
are all over for us
On your telephone
all the numbers
have been omitted
a dead life.
If you have eyes that see
and if you have breasts that suffer
how can you bear it, won’t you tell me,
such a life without weeping?
Those who loved
lie dead,
those who knelt down
are leaders.
Open the refrigerator
and go inside
so you’ll stay fresh
so you’ll be preserved.
