Two ducks quack a lover's fued Coffee steam is rising well away From he that burns here in Ashen lava pools my hand Falls in and melts away only To regrow holding a snowdrop Unscathed by wrath which boils She turns about and says speaking Low to threat 'go then' I can Only offer the flower which melts In the act. I entreat the flames retreat The belly of the world spits souls Into fresh bodies morphet anew From old, not so but middle-aged Sacred **** lived beyond the reach Of time that ticks and claws All downward were it not for life Anew time might win.
