Carmen 24

I think of tall mountains, precipices

And sparks that bleed into cave-dark lanterns.


Razors tell us truths we were never meant

To see, and scissor's blades will do the rest-

I have been in fire-bitten fields before

And the flowers that kiss us are blazes, I know.


Come to me and I will sharpen your teeth,

And you can chew through your own tight ropes.


Our enchantment shouts from verdant hillsides,

I will stand forever. You are the trees.
