I dare

Artwork by Kai Stachowiak

Dingy tunnel of silence

compress me tight

suffocated, I ride

unlighted, by love

I read her eyes

so blue

so bright

I spontaneously expire

so passionate

so zealous

dying a bit

living I quit

at the far mouth

I touch by sight

fragrance enchant

world resists

words I emit

attain few feet

I shout

I count days like stairs

upside down

I descend in despair

expecting her breath to be there

underground

I understand

dwell devil

en route, I dare

ravenous of her evil
