Appetite





She has sent me letter
Redolent it with green words
And has asked me
 With all delights
Whether I would like
Bone garden or
Stone heart
Butterfly ambience or
Fleshy spicy chart
May I reply?
I have interest
 In war and politics
With bone garden
Stone heart and
Fleshy spicy chart
To kill the eternity
To burn intensely
The wings of butterfly
In the flames of my ego
To glow all the mean-ness
In the fire of my appetite
Moreover, to collect
 The skull of time
Somewhere
 In the corner of my heart
To chew the bone and
 Pile up the stone
