And I Burn

There is a weight

Within me(And I burn)A kiss

Heavier than the sun(And I burn)A slow invasion

Strange beauty(And I burn)Rejected in the flesh

And odd nourishment

(And I burn)

For my soulThickening

Far away atomsLike fat happy Buddahs

This intimate new language

Softer than the breath

That slips from your lips(And I burn)In the veretoss(And I burn)The depth of you

(And I burn)

Follows meAnd I burn

And I burn
