I Scar Myself With You
1
I scar myself
With you
O time.
2
Flawed
Are dreams
In the morning. I like those
Right after
The second half
Of night.
3
You spill
Into me like wine…
4
A little loneliness
Next to you — That’s my dream…
5
A little loneliness
Will do us no harm.
It will bring us back to life.
6
Loneliness within you, As I pour you
Like air
Between my ribs.
7
The moon unfolds
Inside me.
8
Dreams are
Too dark tonight.
9
The air
Too thin. I know
You’ve left for work.
10
My mind, Like a flower, Bruised
By a bird in flight. We stayed
Too long
Within each other. Among our own
Meadows.
11
Silence, When you breathe.
A moment — And streams
of screaming
Emerge
From our already wet hair.
12
I cool down on the shore
Of loneliness.
13
You are my master. You encircle the earth
Without dreams. You compose
From distant chests. You are entirely,
Completely written.
You are
A grown man.
14
We, people, Matured too quickly,
Among each other,
But not
Together.
15
The blades
Of your breasts
Are too long. I got pierced again.
Again, I let myself be convinced.
Again, I watch
Everything rise
