A kiss

You were the best kiss of my life,

or maybe the worst... Glory and torment,

with you to the light I ascended from the firmament,

with you I went down the infernal descent!

You died, and my desire does not forget you:

you burn my blood, you fill my thoughts,

and I feed on your bitter taste,

and roll you around in your sore mouth.

Extreme kiss, my prize and my punishment,

baptism and extreme unction, at that moment

Why, happy, didn't I die with you?

I feel the burning, and the crackling I hear you,

divine kiss! and delirious yearning,

in the perpetual longing for a minute...
