one of the beads from the wrist-band you gifted fell out
just the way you fell out of love.
now, i'm on the damp floor, sitting on the tea i burnt,
licking the traces of your love:
right over these turkish tiles where you first kissed me.my body is stagnant.
i live over the grave of someone else's dead body
trying to loot some of heaven's fragrance
for i was burned to charcoal
before the day of judgement.i never changed the light flickering in my bathroom.
the demons vomit red allegations with me.there was never a flower for a beggar.
i have not been pardoned for being hungry.
my love, my tears were not forgiven.the angels have stopped visiting.
the cherries are no longer sweet.
the doves cry a melody to death.this is my last letter to you,
please, be kind to your lovers.
please do not forget
palestine, sudan, congo, afghanistan, etc.
