by Dorina Brândusa Landén
Love gets accomplished
fulfills itself
as between the wild animals
that between the foamy river and the sea.
From the feeble molecule
the voluptuousness of the zephyr breathes.
I’m naked I’m naked
only your skin touches me.
Strong tensed bodies
diving from a height.
Our flesh skinned
by the blows of joy
and the blades of our spirit
blushing devoured by daylight.
We should bleed
dreaming at our limits.
Hug me I say
embrace me
like the waves clinch a stone
tenderizing its casing.
This is the day when
silences sit like soldiers in a row
between love words
I'm sure they will never warm me
but they’ll burn my feelings.
