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 soul
Thickening
Far away atoms
Like 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 me
And I burn
And I burn
