Sleep, Columbina

Nameless in her nature
    Unknown to my desire
          Breathing nevermore
                  My skin is clean
                       My youth is restored

      As the prime order of things
Have finally come into play

          I lay desolate
Awaiting the death of all that's left of me

   Because all that's left of me 
                                                     has all that's left of you
