“I had abandoned everything
frivolously
doing this that and nothing
until you broke through
with your perfume of promise
saying Give me your chaos
undressing my soul
with your ferocious beauty
and tulip-soft skin
making me uncivilised
making me overcome myself
You drank the darkness
within darkness
and weren’t ruined by it
This intoxicating uncertainty
forces me to delay ‘forever’
—your body is now my home”
