There are many metres between an animal that flies Poem by Daniel Faria

There are many metres between an animal that flies
And the ladder I'm descending to go sit on the ground
But all I need is a square of peace and quiet
To have absolute distance

The window I definitively lean out of is beyond what can be seen
It's not an apparition
Nor can it be reached without falling forward

Only where the landscape ends do I stand like a parachutist coming down
Suspended like the saints in a mystical rapture
Risen like an angel on its wings
And I feel lofty like a star. A cloud
In the form of a man
Levitating
