i can't touch you

i'm forbidden to touch you to think of you, to sigh but i can see the seagulls flying over the sea, and screaming and flying i see how the waves are throwing stones at them, i”m forbidden to look into your eyes but i can bathe in them like a tear, and touch your warm cheek, until i drown in leaves, i'm forbidden to kiss you, but i can look for the summer, I'm not allowed to touch you, to sigh, but I can smell you like an orchid born without laws, without oaths, before the sphinx man, born of steam and smoke, look, they overpopulate the earth shooting "arrows" covered in pollen, in all directions
