And I Burn

There is a weightWithin me(And I burn)A kissHeavier than the sun(And I burn)A slow invasionof strange beauty(And I burn)Injected in the fleshAn odd nourishment(And I burn)For my soulThickeningFar away atomsLike fat, happy BuddahsThis intimate new languageSofter than the breathThat slips from your lips(And I burn)In the veretoss(And I burn)The depth of you(And I burn)Fills meAnd I burnAnd I burn
