Eyeing Death

by Irina Kuzminsky


Original Language English

Do ashes dance? I burn.
With this pain I am intimate beyond relief
Where shall I turning turn?
Your gaze consumes beyond belief

With this pain I am intimate beyond relief
Your eyes are closer than my breath
Your gaze consumes beyond belief
Your absence is my constant death

Your eyes are closer than my breath
Caught in love's gale a turning blaze
Your absence is my constant death
Relent return my cindered gaze

Caught in love's gale a turning blaze
Do ashes dance? I burn:
Relent return my cindered gaze
Where shall I turning turn?

With you I'm intimate beyond relief
I turn. Return. I turn.
