Chapter 10 impermanent love
No one knows, there is a perfume called forever,
It floats from the black magnolia in your belly.
No one knows, between your lips and teeth
The hummingbird that kills love.
Moonlight under your black eyelashes,
A thousand Persian ponies fell asleep.
Four nights in a row, I held tight
Your girth that melts all snow.
Jasmine blooms in front of the mottled broken wall,
Your fleeting glance blows the seeds of my heart.
I stroke my chest and offer you
An ivory love letter with the words: Forever.
Forever, forever, garden of my pain,
You will always elude me.
I have fresh fluid in your veins in my mouth,
Your lips are as dark as the field of my death.
