Who

Running through the center of the sun is hot

my feet feel like asphalt and the tips of cigars

My heart has burnt a long time ago

a candle wick dipped in wax

who is your love for, you may ask?

Surely the armor blackened by blacksmiths

and the swords molten and then sharpened know

Surely the white dress of Ophelia has gotten

dirty in the snow

Hawks and hippos both subdue

one to the sky the other to the pond

from high to low my chakras bend

not knowing like a blind man

bending down

over the table

about to eat.
