I imagine
a fire
as fierce as passion
burning in this tunnel.

I imagine
us there
blood dripping slowly
from our wrists.

I imagine
danger
with our arson
with our secrets of care.

I imagine
the moon above us
yet hiding
behind the dark looming clouds.

I imagine
black roses
growing in the rocky knoll
above us.

I imagine
darkness surrounding us
filling our hearts till black
yet we know it as light.
