I tried to translate
the 'man' in romance -
Like a mandolin
murmuring music
into metaphoric moments,
I wrote you ardor
in awkward alliterations
and altered
(with maybe a bit of arrogance)
your nocturnal noise
into nouns.
I tried,
though your effortless eyes
got tired.
That day,
your tongue shoved a gun
down my mouth
and my voice grew silent.
