Do not call me

Please, don't call me
don't love me,
don't touch me (as if 
                          I was ivy)
do not strangle me
between hallucinatory
words, woven from
languid desires,

let me 
run free, barefoot,
through the morning dew,
through the blooming vine,
I'll get drunk with the rays of 
                                            the day,
-make you fall asleep like a 
bird in its nest,
I will carry all summer rains with my
woven arms in clay amphorae,

I will rock all summer rains, in my
arms yellow like 
dandelions,
all summer rains will fly,
only for you they will 
fly

...don't call me,
don't love me,
don't touch me (as if 
                          I was ivy)
let me float
free, barefoot,
through the morning dew,
through the blooming vine,
I'll get drunk on the rays of
                                           the day,
a bird in its nest, I'll make you
 fall asleep,
I will gather all summer rains 
                with my hungry arms like
beewax,
…only for you 

All summer rains will fly,
only for you, I’ll light up 
the ovens of the sky to
polish the clay,
and change its cheekbones, 
before 
the blood 
produces 
its lithography
