if you name your hair a rope
whip my soul with it
tighten my neck
i am willing
if you take your fingernail as a knife
strive in my breast
cut my day dreams
split my memories
take my yesterday from me, take my tomorrow
i am willing
if you name your eyelash an arrow
and ***** my dreams,
***** my nights
i am willing
if your eyes like sun
sear my mind, scatter my voice
i do not ask what for, how or why
take me to bazaar, sale
i am willing
because the flame of your eyes
is a pair of wings, is peace
it makes my life bird fly
to heaven
to the seven stairs of sky
