Naming

Unfolding the lust, do not ask
for the olden love. The crowd
has hijacked the halo of spotted survivor.
A fish swims in your eyes.

Trembling like a love song,
while pulling the bucket out of 
a well of tears, why did not
you stay beside me ?

Life has left me on the cliff.
Burn, burn my love,
for the sake of the sea, for the
bloody rocks who would not hold the hurricane.


A pain of you  hangs 
on my door. My limbs are dying.
Cannot move the stars,
cannot climb the black moon.
