Leonard Cohen – Poem (Full Employment p 27 Flame)

I see you in the windows
that open so wide
there’s nothing beyond them,
and nothing inside.

You take off your sandals
you shake out your hair,
your beauty dismantled
and worn everywhere.

The story’s been written.
The letter’s been sealed.
You gave me a lily,
but now I have a field.
