“I had abandoned everything
frivolously
doing this that and nothing
until you broke through
with your perfume of promise
saying 'Give me your chaos'
undressing my soul
with your ferocious beauty
and tulip-soft skin
making me uncivilised
making me overcome myself
You drink the darkness
within darkness
and are not ruined by it
This intoxicating uncertainty
forces me to delay ‘forever’
—your body is now my home”
