Immortal Burn
.
.
The evening falls
I crawl on my belly through sewers
old passions, fatal hopes
bellow, discharge
into my mind
Your smile is like a sickness
I can’t shake off
Your body
a beating obsession
infesting my pores
The last hour
the last kiss
burns immortal
like thunderstorm
fastened to my existence.
