carbon dust and asphalt

cruel sun and trash

acid breeze is smoky

crumpled bits of cash

–

cardboard in his fingers

black from vanished soap

he thinks of different times

and evil torment hope

–

the linen was so soft

she was flowers in the air

on damp concrete he dreams

of wind in her hair

whisper to me darling

only with your heart

in apricot and opal grass

like doves that never part

–

your spirit blankets me

with your satin floral bliss

on clouds of purple cotton

where stars and twilight kiss

–

this empty night is filled

this frost has no more cold

you are my only air

you are the peace I hold

it was you i see

without single fail

black smile of fire

behind a princess veil

–

oceans with this rock

grimy massive stone

you wash me like rain

no one dies alone

–

i’m thinking of you now

my shadow is your sprite

darkness comes like velvet

i kiss you in the night
