Let us abandon ourselves to love.

Let us drain the blood of eloquence

and announce our intentions with a long,

lingering roll of the tongue.

Let us defile doubt

which whispers into the ears of mortals.

Let us fill the void

which peels away at our skin

like an incurable, medieval plague.

Let us make choices.

Let us gaze carelessly for days

into the black eyes of struggle

and laugh until we are parched.

Let us erupt tonight,

tomorrow

and forever.
