I Remain Awake
I remain awake in the hands of a lover
where my lifeless body in your arms could lie
and my dreams find
the somber refuge of forgotten verses
in forgotten time
In my palms I hold your taste
like a sweat swelling reason
fusing madness into memory
giving new breath to lost verses
and beloved lies
I awake in a shadow
massive and abrupt
to sleep through the midst of living
and depart from my dying hands
a breath of relief
a sigh of goodbye
