DesiresLike beautiful bodies of the dead that haven’t grown oldthat were locked, in tears, in the gleaming mausoleum,with roses on their heads and jasmines by their legs.It’s the way past desires look when they aren’tfulfilled, when none of them has enjoyeda single night of lust, or one shining morning. https://draft2digital.com/book/3562856 https://www.amazon.com/dp/1926763823
