The Torn Flower

I love you like the sky that is split into halves by the airplanes
The stars disappear dragged along by them
In this world with all the burnt petrol
Standing on the verge of destruction – I love you

Like a torn flower that rolls down quietly on the ground

You are that ground and I the flower

I like to roll down softly upon your breast
