Shooting stars

when the tree of love rises in me

and its skin breaks in the white of the eyes

this harsh celestial tree this blackness

I open these eyes

my kind serene eyes

a set of knives laid in order

 

then you know

I never forgive love

when these hands turn into lemon flowers

and descent down the spine

 

I need you now

don’t say a word about it

 

soon the fog will come

and in the fog you shall slip like the sparrow in a cat’s claw

 

the fog will come

it will come, here it is

gather your dress beneath you

and sleep with your face turned to the wall from now on

I want to break you a wing with my knees

your eyes gripping me into a fire

I shall throw them in a bugs’ nest

 

I won’t look back

I never look back

 

but now I am coming towards you

I come like a star drilling the darkness

 

my love

fingers crossed
