SAY WHY YOU DON´T WANT
And again the word, invites you to die,
and you prepair yourself ceremoniously,
you go to bed,
you dressed in shroud white,
arrange your hair, lay calm.
Bared of rings and without teeth,
strech your legs with their last crackles,
cross your arms
think, maybe this one is your first hug.
The word that invites you to die,
the one that your father
the french grandmother,
your sick dog and the missin person, listened to,
visits you, hangs arround.
And you close your eyes and no more looks,
you prepare yourself to listen to,
first the silence,
then a few steps,
lips that approach your ear,
a hot air with smell of garlic,
a sigh.
The word that invites you to die,
accomodate your chillhood,
does not laugh at dreams,
it is the shipwrecked one of the first drizzle,
is reflected while it bites your fears
dances with brillancy of ravens
but boasts of being a Dove,
outcry!
Again the word, invites you to die.
And this time,
with a smile barefoot of sadness,
you accept!
