5740 Bitter roots and flowers of nostalgia

I chew strengthless 
A bitter root 
As a solitary bison 
That wanders zigzagging 
In the vast meadows of the soul, 
Desperately seeking 
The sweet memory of your gaze 
And I get lost among the mysteries, 
I wander in the labyrinth of calm.

In my memories, 
Your acerbic flower stands 
Like a lighthouse whose light 
Projects a halo of nostalgia.

It is the bite of an asp, 
A desert jackal, 
A hyena that laughs in mockery.

I take its rough petals 
Between my lips 
And like a potter 
That lives for molding 
The clay of pain, 
I sculpt my sorrows 
Into tears 
And heart shapes.

My longing becomes 
Stardust, 
Ground crystals, 
Cold molybdenum, 
Stramonium residue, 
Fragments of a universe 
In constant perdition.
