THE BONES OF THE DEAD

The bones of the dead are tender ice 

that knows how to crumble 

and become dust on the lips 

the ones who loved them. 

And these live lips can no longer kiss.

The bones of the dead 

swiftly

spread their whiteness 

over life's intense flame. 

They kill all passion!

The hones of the dead

can do more than living flesh.

Even disjointed, they make mighty chains, 

keeping us submissive and captive.
