\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Virgin dry is my throat<\/strong>
\n and anaemic the veins<\/strong><\/p>\n

that supply my semen<\/strong>
\n to your embryo.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I cannot ejaculate<\/strong>
\n a lover\u2019s warmth in your womb<\/strong><\/p>\n

nor can I grab your breast<\/strong>
\n as they grasp the deity\u2019s forehead.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The lips of the overhead sky bulb<\/strong>
\n are seeping the blood out of me,<\/strong><\/p>\n

and my tongue<\/strong>
\n is parched and lonely.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the sun<\/strong>
\n set on me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let its crimson sweat of ferocity<\/strong>
\n spill all over me.<\/strong><\/p>\n

My heart is ready<\/strong>
\n for the chill of the darkness.<\/strong><\/p>\n

I put my best shirt on<\/strong>
\n and wait for a bride of the light.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Let the darkness<\/strong>
\n rise from me,<\/strong><\/p>\n

the darkness that conceals<\/strong>
\n the bruises of the light.<\/strong><\/p>\n
