By me
Date: 30 September 2000

scorpio

fairy tales and gods,
the orb...
Latent by milky rind
       of silk and eyes
crying out his songs and sonnets
 like water to my soul
growing, spreading through
 my veins
my arms reach up into the sunlight
pleading for another kiss
the fervent kiss to melt
 and harden on my lips
to breathe life into this
   carcass
to bring back the pale
  crimson skin
(my heart dipped in lava again)
