JOUNREY (::INTO SUBLIME)

My hand stood naked like
a blue singing fire.
Dirty braids messily strewed together almost cry
while they look at a face starting back
into a white floating mirror.
Shivers cascade up and down my
stomach while my mother downstairs sings
imaginary words to Mozart's requiem.
My face is Mozart's requiem.
My face is only a line of water
running through my black hair.
My eyes gently watch
lips, burning like green coal,
embrace the spaces of passion
which termbles
between each space
of air.
