I weave them out of the mirages
of distant satiations.
In the dim corners of twilight
I string together a few ephemeral
shrubs and palm leaves.
And, when the vanishing pool
quenches my pulsating thirst,
when the rubbles of the trees
sway in my heart with derisive laughs,
I turn the hourglass over,
bury an oasis that never was

A blackness gushing out from streams of ink.
I had thought of opening my tired eyes, and perceive

I had thought of floating away in the streams, too.
Of losing my mind, body, heart. And ruptured,

before I see the first rays of sun
hitting my dreamy paradise,
before the salt of ocean mists
carry their forlorn caress to me,
within my arms I feel the colours
of my lover’s entwined sighs.
In front of me the open oceans
and the deepest, bluest skies
tear each other apart in liaisons.

tosses around my well-laid life
and melts across the horizons.
My poems remain; their manuscripts float
disheveled in forgotten spaces behind.
Perhaps an unblemished moon in my skies.
With immaculate strokes of pen I draw
a nose and a handful of wrinkles on her face.
And all the stars of all new-moon nights
twinkle with delight [...]]]></description>

With wizened eyes I wish to see
your slender fingers, in cruel forgetfulness,

Split open all the chambers and

Pull it apart as you daintily walk
