You can capture a landscape

With the longing in your eyes

Don’t frighten it, give it a little warmth

Droplets of youth will embrace you

Even in the premises of dust

Trust wasn’t there to be found

Yet you’ve blended the blooming nearness with

Kohl dripping down around

Hold it there, stay a poker-face for a while

A beginning initiates another

All my wounds have nakedly desired to

Unfurl your unharmed desires

My dear, it’s obligatory that we

Keep our heads high, when

The sky is reaching down to us
