"It takes a lot of work to be reduced to tears"
we can’t overplay our hand
locked in a deep freeze
let’s don’t kid ourselves
it takes a lot of work
to be reduced to tears
the risk of becoming a saboteur
and giving oneself a chance
takes the key to one’s heart
and like a raging bull
kisses us like emptiness
as if received by a stranger
