Comfort Zone

When rainbows evaporate

and flowers burst into dust

When the rivers

become bloodstreams

I'll bloom

and sing like a bird

I'll scoop you up

and into my arms

Bone by bone, hair by hair

Your fair skull

against my heaving chest

We'll talk

of philosophy and science

of gods and devils

with love at the center

as a fire

And when it burns down

And when it burns down

I will bury you     again

my only love.
