About a girl

Timid, curious and passionate

first kisses
greedily, happily I gave
to a girl who believes in Buddha.

In her dark place she keeps
her lonely soul
still full of love
her broken heart 
sweet like watermelon
and her only book of Buddhism.

We are two lost souls
swimming in two fishbowls
Buddha that day shook mine upside down
left it his way facing her confused eyebrow
"What's wrong with you now
Did someone break your heart?"

I would each morning
tell her about sunlight
so she remembers
to put her little plant
out from the insane night
for a little while.

I cut my hair
I shave my head
lay myself dead
and feel a bit alive.
