smouldering fire

When you don't know how to check desire 
sending a trail of smoke 
of smouldering fire,
you pull my blanket over you 
to smother it.

That's where I get spots burned 
and I am branded.

principio d’incendio

quando il tuo desiderio fuma
come principio d’incendio
e non sai come fermarlo,
mi tiri su di te come coperta
per soffocarlo
ne resto anch’io segnato
bruciacchiato

 smouldering fire


When you don't know how to check desire 
sending a trail of smoke 
of smouldering fire,
you pull my blanket over you 
to smother it.

That's where I get spots burned 
and I am branded.
