The Virgin Ghost

to me and me only because i say so.

All odorous within the grave
 
I create yellow ghosts against the trees
 
Beware! The feeling is vanishing
 
All poisonous near the shadows
 
I summon wanting weirdness against the wind
 
Awaken, awaken! The fun is vanishing
 
So rabid near the virgin
 
I ensnare dank teeth before the dream
 
Heavy! The day is done
 
darkening hesitant
 
saying goodbye
 
all his wounds in front
 
At how many harbours
 
the face in your mirror
 
turn aside
 
and miss his turning
 
realizing the fact that he is burning.
