I
Your conservative ethos
is a way living
your pretension
Is a volcano camouflage
like a value system.

II
An instinct paraphrase
late night sleep
uninterpreted eyes
open on a knock
repents the tired sin.

III
Her first blink, grabbed in the
bracket of the beauty
Vanished in an onomatopoeia.

IV
Palm leaves on the fire
receiving a mild body touch
flair of the tenderness
Is that the carnal integrity?
