And I burn

There is a weight within me
(And I burn)

A kiss heavier than the sun
(And I burn)

A slow invasion of strange beauty
(And I burn)

Injected in the flesh
An odd nourishment
(And I burn)
For my soul

Thickening far away atoms
Like fat happy buddhas

This intimate new language
Softer than the breath that slips from your lips
(And I burn)

In veritas
The depth of you
(And I burn)
Fills me
And I burn
And I burn

(And I burn)
