Persona

this person
comes to the house
rings the bell
and opens the door

there is nudity on the face
that i see
something inside me boils
because there is fire
at my bottom

then this person tells me
something
that i already know

something light and does not
bother me (I think so)
there is nudity in the body
and when this person turns
so i can see the back
of the body

what i see are two dimples
that tonight bother me

i am struck
i am stirred
the potion finally works inside me
i am not in love
how can i ever be in love again

i am lustful
seeing those two dimples at the back
that leave me
awed at the beauty of the flesh
this sin this greed
unsaturated.
