Like layers of paint, you are covered and veiled.
Your trousers have dropped,
your shoulders have dropped,
our tears drop
Your eyes are tunnels to your soul
and I go,
you go to my soul too
that is more life than life could do.
Avocado is adovaco now,
Cucumber is Cucembr now,
and sallad is saldad now,
Sunday is the least sunny day of all
Nights are lighter then they used to.
when you sleep,
you sound the same and I close my eyes too
Flesh has failed,
spirit has grown and conditional love is no longer possible.
