From black coal, bright flame From my lips, your name My two lips are dark and stained From whispering, at night, your name My heart, a fireplace, marked and pained By memories of your soul’s bright flame Pouring from my mouth like smoke Dancing before my drunken eyes Your memory drowns me and provokes A blurry sight and burning sighs I drink you like the ocean Only with thirst satisfied You burn me in love’s oven Breathing in the smoke that rises Don’t leave me for an instant Or I’ll fade into the sky Hold my poor soul in your glance Let me fall into your eyes 43
I have no faith in my faith And I don’t know what I know I have no sense of my state High as heaven or hell-low My goodness can’t be trusted And my virtue is on loan My heart’s hopelessly rusted And my piety’s a show My life’s a lie within a dream Nothing about me’s true Except for the fact that I love Whom you love and love you 44
