Delirious I danced
In my head no one is watching
No one is watching you in my head
I held the arms of the night
And ran through a field
Purple grass whispered to my shoe
“don’t talk, you are going to spoil the night”
Your hands in your lap,
Your heart asleep
Your head talking to the darkness
You were naked
You ate my wrists when making love to me
Touching my heart with your finger
Biting my flesh, fresh and warm
My mouth trembled
I was scared
Then you went to bed alone
Lighting a candle to block mine
To hide me in her tears
I don’t breathe
I could wake the ocean up
But where did it come from?
My eyes.
From my mouth comes blood.
You sneaked out
Opened my windows
Talked to the air
Secrets i heard
Because i was there
Sleeping in your eyelashes
Curled up in your armpit
You smelled like fire
But your skin was so cold
I froze. Forever, I thought.
Then the wind was gone
And you went back to bed
I wonder what you are like
Under the rain?
Inside your house?
Who are you when you kiss a girl?
A boy? A ghost? A god?
I want to sleep.
Please let me.
On your tongue.
In the space between your eyes.
Your heart is sorrowful
Your skin is frailer than my nails.
Do not steal my fields,
My dance.
Even if I cry,
Don not steal my night’s arms.
My purple color.
Love is mine. And the night.
You are not.
You are my friend.
You once were
When you were a stranger
You are my friend
Without being a stranger.
