107

what helps you sleep in lonely nights?
do you think about me,
a limp body lying next to you?

and what would you do,
and how much,
for this warm flesh, not rotting but loving?

if you were a bird, would you give up the sky?
if you were a fish, would you give up the sea?
what about the earth, if you were a tree,
is it all worth it, just to be next to me?
