		untitled (***to you the smiling I say)
		-------------------------------------------------------

		to you the smiling I say
		put out the lamp of your smile
		the one above our closed eyes

		only in the dark
		we meet without meanings

		only in the dark
		we will rub against the fur of death

		we will bring the night
		to our amazed hands

		the day is a bird
		whose vermilion-lined wings
		burn
