There is a weight
Within me


(and i burn)

A kiss

Heavier than the sun

(and i burn)


A slow invasion
Strange beauty


(and i burn)


Rejected in the flesh
And odd nourishment
(and i burn)

For my soul

Thickening

Far away atoms

Like fat happy buddahs

This intimate new language
Softer than the breath
That slips from your lips


(and i burn)


In the veretoss

(and i burn)


The depth of you
(and i burn)

Follows me

And i burn

And i burn
