lines from incarnations of "a thousand kisses deep" - leonard cohen

"my mirror twin,
my next of kin,
i'd know you in my sleep.
and who but you would take me in
a thousand kisses deep?

our perfect porn aristocrat,
so elegant and cheap.
i'm old but i'm still into that,
a thousand kisses deep.

i'm good at love,
i'm good at hate,
it's in between i freeze.
been working out but it's too late,
it's been too late for years.

there's no forsaking what you love -
no existential leap -
as witnessed here in time and blood,
a thousand kisses deep.

but you look good
(you really do),
they love you on the street.
if you were here
i'd kneel for you,
a thousand kisses deep"

on last night's soliloquies launch



i wrote this last night:

not crazy about
students who write poetry
just because they're sad
