The Enigma of Desire

Eileen! 
.... Eileen! 
........ Eileen! 
The aches are eating my cigarette; 
My cigarette is eating my lips; 
My lips are eating Eileen's face; 
Eileen's face is clung to the café table. 
...A feeling of empathy 
Urged my face to fall down too. 
A spasm takes it back 
Toward the heavy blue sky. 
Eileen! 
.... Eileen! 
........ Eileen!
