Death in a grip

After you overcome yourself, it becomes clear
and east to move through lonely people.
You nurture a scar that others revive
and in the end, it all comes
to the right of the pain
and movements that undress.
Repeated visions:
The tree canopies give up, rustling,
a riotous stream hums in the hills,
the fox and the birds give up their homes.
Drunken leaves fall to the mud
and you set up two questions
in a departure smile.
It is not a great science living with the lonely ones.
What you need is your keep your own death in a grip
and to have a body that makes one forget.




Death on the open hand

A military coup of the soul is unused on your open hand. How do you intend to complete what you set it out to do? Envy will lead you to destruction, not to the stars. Instead of sleeping, you allow yourself to be seduced by the love of others for another. Restore the millimeters of your body while you still can. If it becomes unbearable, love your body from my point of view. It’s an honest lust, designed to finish you off when no one expects it. When the future is gone, the only thing you’ll be able to hold on to will be my love, lying and deceitful as all loves become if we give them enough time for closing words. My plot involves no pity. It is a practiced deception, the final act of terror, as mirrors cease to be your faithful dialogue whisperer. My revenge will patiently meet your chin. Glory and power fall from it. It peels off your skin to be given to the lizard that stalks the sleepy and fattened mosquito on the wall of the last refuge. It is a lonely truth that brought us together to give up – you from yourself, me from you. It is high time for the night to descend on the tropical oases of our madness.
