Temptation doesn’t grant mercy 

We’ve been forgiven since the first eyes ever met; 

At its spring, what eyes can look straight? 

It’s late, since the eyes of our chest rubbed its clay

Vindicate tomorrow’s sad eyes 

While the breeze carries the ashes of the past seconds 

Over the unreachable distance, toward its cold winter 

Let’s tangle the bones of our feet and rest

Judgment’s nails claim our palms, 

If I keep my hand in yours, the nails won’t reach yours 

Let’s praise the night we touched 

And let the eyeless ashes peacefully repose.
