In love, you have loosened yourself like seawater

Whom can I ask what I came to make happen in this world?

Raw hatred took its time making an outpost of its rage and prepared for me a savage crown with rusty, bloodstained spikes. It wasn't pride that made me keep my heart at a distance from such terror, nor did I waste on revenge or the pursuit of power the forces that came from my selfish griefs or my accumulated joys. It was something else-my helplessness.

To feel the love of people whom we love is a fire that feeds our life.

Love is so short, forgetting is so long.

with your name on my mouth and a kiss that never broke away from yours.

I don't want to go on being a root in the dark, vacillating, stretched out, shivering with sleep, downward, in the soaked guts of the earth, absorbing and thinking, eating each day.
