The Arch



AN ATTEMPT TO LIVE THROUGH A TONGUE-LINED TUNNEL FILLED WITH RED CLOUDS

& CONCRETE FORESTS

A wet collision against the wall!

O the splattering of kisses…

We trade tongues by the bricks.

In the city romance is on concrete,

And the streetlight is our moon.

In between the skinny streets

And dirty sidewalks our footsteps

Leave a trace of happiness…

I hold your hand, rough

Skin stretched over the bones and

Blood of love; in the background

I hear an orchestra of sirens,

Honking and shouts…

In front of me I watch the

Beautiful movie of your eyes, curtained

By damp, black shadows.

Our soundlessness overcomes

The neon noise, and

Inside I sense

Your pulse flickering.
