Waltz On the Pyre

your first kiss
 turn flocks of birds
 in thoughts
 in blood
 in the bones
 they all create their nest inside me
 as if I were
 another season
 or maybe they desire
 from the poisoned fruit
 escape key for those
 who will ask me regarding 
 Immortality
 in waltz step on the pyre
 the flight is burning
the freedom
 the longing.
