"Delicate like cruel words."

Knowing you are faithless keeps me alive and hungry.   

Knowing you faithful would kill me with joy.   

Asagi Natsume

You leave me   

not dead but perpetually dying.   

I want my friends to heal me, succor me.   

Instead, I get analysis.

Love’s anguish or the anguish of time.   

Another dark, severing, incommunicable night.   

Death would be fine, if I only died once.   

I would have liked a solitary death,   

not this lavish funeral, this grave anyone can visit.

My Vibes. You intercepted my vibes. The long shadows,

the long shadows, the long shadows. My sweet little tone,

my sweet little tone is my arm.

'Sleeping-With-Nostalgia'

You are mystical, Ghalib, and, also, you speak beautifully.   

Are you a saint, or just drunk as usual?
