inferno of lust

with my mirror image,
my own susceptibility to intimacy, passion, rapture,
my insistence on action and reaction,
i am an inferno of lust, obsessed with love

it is a sort of birth certificate,
a birthright to hellfire,
to the everlasting fire,
to unconditional love,
eternal love

there is a presence of the cipher, cryptograms,
secret languages, secret codes, of tombstones,
or the souvenirs of something that was,
tokens of sweet tasty memories

drop-dead serious, rhythmical, almost electrifying,
depositing me right in the pathway of desire,
in touch with ideas about chance, simplicity,
indeterminate servility, conceptualism,
and an attitude about self-knowledge,
self-love, self-murder, self-pity, self-respect
