I. The Baptism of Suffering
When in the deep of the abyss
I have raised my head
an instant
I thought I saw
my remembrance watch me.
II. Freedom
Some puppets into tears
bear in their wild hands,
the links.
III. First Madmen
Emerging from the abyss
their wild eyes
are seeking their target
into the mirror.
IV. About the desire
Do you Remember
the Life
this infinite
sadness
which since
never ceases.
You have tasted
the forbidden fruit
and your wings
are broken glass
where cling the reflections of the past.
Your soul strives to remember,
but only your shadow
inhabit your loneliness.
The ghosts of the past
disaggregated
defile your body
indecent trace of time
V. Saturation
A man in silence
loses sight
prostrate
succumbs to the pain
to feel the one he loved
leave him.
His mouth opens
but says nothing
It respects his pain.
The skin feels the rain
but the man hears nothing.
He discovered the emptyness
when it is already too late.
VI. Eternity
Finally
when eternity ends
we see the incredulous bones
of the hands of the other side's gods
doggedly search
among the same dust
that in humans hearts.
VII. Pretension of the dying one
I am the death
and you are my children...
... It's so reassuring to exchange our masks.
