Of lovers and monsters
" My land's only borders lie around my heart"
Chess
In the city transfixed by fear
Lovers whisper to each other desperate songs
And like in the famous painting
They kiss through a veil of oblivion
That we may see another day
That we will love just like before
And you in me
And me within you
And out of our sinister melodies
We’ll contemplate the city burn
Singing the songs that we have bore.
