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.
