What is "burning"?

You closed yourself up in your body,

the flower of you skinned in a bud

so I was left only with a breath of perfume

and the night air, on which the perfume drifted.

Burning is the occult complicity

between the flame and the fuel:

so deep, that bond;

so strong, that secret.

I was left only with the scent of your skin.

Left, only with the night air.

I was left only with everything.
