My fingers smelled of a name
Bathed in many faces, and
A journey from shoulder to shoulder
Turned me among many hearts
In which only time puddled like
The Impossible in a miracle.
A tempestuous change of mind
Preached me a flesh without feelings,
Happy, so happy thai I had to know you.
The day asked me when I will end it, and
The night asked me when I will start it.
I’ve ripped as many minds as I could lie,
I burned as many forest as I could extinguish,
I punished as much blood as I could forgive.
In the dead living and the living dying, in all of them
I bloomed all that was already budding,
Destroyed all that was already compromised.
I made the sea fall in love with the waves, the language
In love with the salt, the word in love with the sound,
The name in love with the face.
The clouds were frolicking between my ribs,
I was kissing bare mountain peaks,
I was planting angels in anyone’s eyes.
All fears were hoping for me,
No thirst could survive me.
Temptation and forgiveness, madness and illumination,
Close all of them like eyelash next eyelash.
I was wailing storms, mourning the nothingness pulled
Out of the darkness of the throat.
For me never, for them always.
The sky, which they scratched with their gaze, I tore
It like the lick of their mind.
And then, like what priceless gem the blood shone?
