We are no longer meeting with admirations and love
Chained birds in the tall grass sigh and resolve
Love's tombs bear festering questions and deleted faces
Bullet shattered names, accumulations and broken laces
Lost faces, bent hearts, sulking silhouettes, stems dangerous
Run and magnify anxieties and miracle of the risen Lazarus
Time rakes dead leaves, sea flowers, and hanging shrubs
And knifes the softest portions of reclining shores, suburbs
Love unwinds like snake sunbathing in the plains,
Warmed by tomorrow tears, songs and poisoned grains
These days of hanging darkness and restless snakes
Hearts prepare love like death day soups and cakes
