I write your name on my tongue
I write you name on my tongue
to remember your taste
take the words I have written
for you and wear them
like I wear your scent.
The river is flowing fast
i lay a paper boat
on which I have written
simple possibilities –
set it on the river. Watch
it float away and unfold
in the first
silver white confluence,
where the stars read
our skin and sigh like two lovers
whose love has conquered time
even for the briefest
of moments.
