5053 As a flowery offering

The purple light of dawn 

and the blue hour touch the morning 

When I wake up to see 

The curves of your face 

And I congratulate myself 

For having made the decision 

To give you flesh and bones 

As a flowery offering 

On the altar of your sex.

A night with you is like 

Completing the construction 

Of an Egyptian pyramid.

Today morning I will be able 

To walk on the water 

And expel the demons 

That I find in Gadara.

During the day I will hallucinate 

As if descending 

From a magenta flying saucer 

Abducted by the smell 

Of tangerines of your body.

The purple light of dawn 

and the blue hour touch the morning 

When I wake up to see 

The curves of your face 

And I congratulate myself 

For having made the decision 

To give you flesh and bones 

As a flowery offering 

On the altar of your sex.
