should've done

(κεντρική) (πίσω στη συλλογή)




	Yet again staying awake tonight
to prove I can outlive the day,
though I sense a fragment of
the moment’s past disdain, frankly.

No worries, I go back, not long,
	to when I had been discovering what my
  glares sought after.
Still full of the potent flame
	the candles lit the gold. As they
blindly chanted, I whispered.
They got wind of me, I fear, though
    the flames up my nostrils intoxicated
   their way to him. And him. and him.
				And me.
I touched the arms, and wondered
the serenity of the outcome.
    Coming to think of it, they would’ve
				gnawed, and
				devoured, and
				digested
	
Yet, with such knowledge, I longed
the devoted to pray on me as
he pleased, to also show company.

    With fire on our palms,
		little to light up the darkness of
							the stars
	We circled in deep voices,
	     Begging for some guidance we
		  would eventually find ourselves.

    And after I was convinced to
	   be part of them,
	slyly to pray and to prey,
    back to the glare, back to the
	arm, to the flame, to the arm,
		to the flame.
