Self-righteous was my sadness
my resistance, the denial
and the darkness
Self bewilderment was your chasing
...

Caterpillars
they have potentials
they have perspectives
they have dreams
...

Thoughts of consumed steadiness
anger floats through reflections of Irene
but for crystallized birth
we choke the bellyache
...

Curtains
hide
closets
slaughtered pride
...

Crowns
Made of charcoal
Blackness
Tar
...

Dear lord, I thought red fire grew only from the hands of the cold
alone and poor
between hands that lost their soul
but they rubbed my thoughts
...

My life is in danger
Myself is in danger
as I cut the small pieces
tiny failed autonomies
...

Not everyone can get
the things running down on your little head
not every single person can see
the things twirling on your twisted head
...

I feel sorry
for hiding myself behind you
behind this cut
because for the demons that I feed inside, is not enough
...

Send your thoughts
to the obituary of the silent echoes
carefully folded to a faulty package
expensively and dearly selected
...

THEY WILL COME
They will come to demystify us
so plainly willing to defy our future collapse
they will slowly plant triggers on our garden flowers
...

As the fire warms my eyes
I cannot not burn myself
Inside
As the cold hands all my cries
...

Thus, the rabbit was burnt in its rush
and thus
the lady in red was chopped off her heart
there are no avidly purple games among us
...

Restrain
Things I need to obtain
A trust you want to gain
The things we both, apart, together crave
...

The red lines of the sea, bloodstained to me
subside before the hypothermia
of thousands crystal eyes
...

There is a place

called carnival with seaweed
...

The blasphemy of the passenger
is so dissonant for the singing birds
that hang their lavish plumage upright to the buried trees
never been so dissonant, never again
...

He looks like a fish
she looks like a freak
he, crawling in deep waters
she, drowned in her shallowness
...

Tongue
long short tongue
thin fat tongue
unfolding
...

Mirrors
as they cut you
as they hurt you
as they take you
...
