Liberty

Liberty!

 

take me and let me be bewitched

by your whirling beauty

let me vibrate in your impassioned pulse

and hover on the edge of

heaven and hell

 

Liberty!

 

cut of the borders

bring me to a world without divisions

a place where day and night are one

a molten mass

flowing into the flesh under my skin

 

and out again —

◄ The shout!

Red Stripes on the Floor ►
