Poesia (19.9)



Solitude And His Face

Like the pain.
Feel it underneath your eye.
I went looking.
I found.
I cried.
I couldn’t stop.

It was too painful not to look.
Like an accident on the road,
I was the driver that,
Willingly,
Slows down the speed
To see a dead,
Or almost dead,
Body.

His pictures were to be seen.
My blood was to be spilled, so.
The solitude that my body goes through
Is unimaginable
Since I cannot unseen
What I just saw.

Shadows cover his face briefly
And I am,
As for to speak,
Covered in my own solitude.

Thought about reaching the phone,
Calling you instead of crying wolf on the floor.
My hand couldn’t bear the weight of a call.

At one point my eyes dried,
Suffering with the sight of you two together,
You were with him
When you swore at the moon
And all the stars in my celling
That you would love me
And myself only
For a good and long eternity.
Now eternal is my pain.
And there is nothing you can do
To erase the past
That is carved in my eyes.

Those green beacons that you once swore
To be light in your dark way,
Beacons that I hope to guide me
Out of my solitude.

Poesia (19.8)



Lost Track

The acknowledgement that you are
Alone.
Lonely in your own body,
For as big as it is,
Flesh is not company.

For as unconditional as mothers love
Can be
They,
For as holy as they are,
Cannot fulfill your desire
For inner company.

For as many lovers as you might have
They,
As unholy as they get,
Will never fulfill that whole hole that crumbles
Within your fingers.

For as many friends as you may forgive
They,
As available as they could get,
Shan’t see you
As a necessary body-soul part.

Perhaps your own gentle touch
Can
As harsh as it might feel and sound
Comprehend
You and your own
Loneliness.
