Absinthe

The green fairy occupies my mouth as if in a dream

 

Senses surge past me in waves

 

Of perfect silence that torture the mind

 

I raise my eyes like a drawbridge

 

Getting ready for the fleet whose

 

Noise deafens the colour of my

 

Pupils

 

Overwhelmed the sky clasps

 

Me in a study and struggles to

 

Kiss my green lips

 

Aglow with blue beams its perfumed sun

 

Smiles and stretches me in the

 

Silk of the seas, where fish speak

 

With stars in feminine voices and

 

Ask my name

 

Floating in bliss I can not recall it

 

Only the selected elegance of History

 

Comes to mind
