Life and essence

In all my lives,

each of my nights

I returned to where the birds die,

I listened to their song,

I wanted to sleep with them,

to close my eyes,

to dream that someone loves me

Loneliness spoke to me

My song did not cease

my name dismembered

I forget it was late

I inhabit absence

lady of oblivion

now sleeps,

my lost self

To be or not to be

To be of wind

of salt and earth

of dreams, of foam

of smoke, of clouds

to be of day, of night

of lies and truths

to be and not to be, to be or not to be

disappear

as I slowly close my eyes,

as I slowly turn off the moon

being just that,

an eternal silence            

after a thousand screams without echo

a voice asleep in the shadows

while the sun scratches

the fogged crystals of my life
