But Turn Me on My Side


painting by claude monet, 1875.

but turn me on my side

but turn me on my side
so that I can better see
that dear expanse
of grassy lawn
whereon she
walked, or
should I say,
floated,
yes, floated
under the sunfilled
sail of her parasol.

Leonard Cohen

from BOOK OF LONGING
