I know that you are here…
I absorbed you in my eyes,
I gave you my arms,
...
Go, white bird
that comes to my sleep,
do not touch me,
my rains are falling.

The Truth Motions
I need a word…
powerful, movable,
troublesome,
irritable.
I must awake the truth
with my resentment.
To ask her,
how many stairs still
to pass?
The first, the second, the third,
it seems like forever.
I seek for the truth
so much I cannot see
so much I do not want to
hear
Now I must
awake the truth.
I seek for the word,
movable, powerful,
troublesome,
irritable.
Truth is that word.
I persisted
with a few
deep sighs
to see the reflection of mine
I make the motions of the truth
for everything that
was dying in me.
I alleged myself
on her.
I am speechless, I wait
for her motions.
I listen,
people speak
about the truth,
some play with her,
some ridicule her,
and no one will be spared.
I still listen,
as I awake her
with my resentment…
I awake her within me
only to ask her
if I am right
The truth is the reflection of life
but,
I hardly accept
her motions.
If I do not
do anything today
tomorrow I will be fallacious.
I awake you
with my resentment…
to ask you,
why on this morning
this city hunts me,
turbulent sounds
hunt me.
And now I get to know,
on this morning,
I see the reflection of mine
and that is the truth.
