The candle on the edge of the bath crackles
and, over my body, the ball is fizzing
the purple rain
of my red blood
in the blue reflection
of the sky in the water
my skin dissolves, my skeleton
shivers, so beautiful is this
ending, farewell my love
just let me go, I'm crying
but I love myself
since you kissed away what was ugly
