Loving to Die
The act of touching the loved being begins
in the beats of a single cell and growing
it expands until the absolute evidence.
The eyes see in the target of desire
the entrance to the kingdom of the death.
Courage has recovered territory. Everything happens.
Lovers learn to die together.
