I have met a man who used to smile only
I have met a man who used to smile only,
before he repented caught in guilt.
I have met a man who used to be happy simply in vain,
without ever explaining himself
why the world bursts out in tears.
I have asked him how does he know the world,
which seems upside down!
And after every question I have receieved tens of answers
that convinced me not!
So I have waited that one day he would ask himself,
simply in vain a question made public!
But I was afraid he would not reply,
so I have run and in the silence,
I have seen the world undressed, naked!
I know the sea is grieving
I know that the sea is grieving
in the middle of a waterlogged winter,
I feel sea fever at the end of December,
and fires that fade without making noise.
I’m afraid, it is getting cold!
I shiver from the wind that blows,
and like the sea
I don’t feel quite well,
even in the midst of June,
when the entire world refreshes itself in the water willingly,
not violently,
when the waves fade in the branches of the foreign blood
and the fires burn in the eyes of a cyclops.
I know that the sea is grieving.
