A book
Turns its pages
With a soft gentle stir
The flip of the edges
And the sounds that murmur

The stories
Unfolds its mysteries
Reciting the weight of its words
The stops and the lapses
Add intrigue to their worlds.

The end
Like's to be chased down
By overzealous beginnings
The length of the passage
Is the story of the innings

Feel it seep into your pores.
Allow it to swallow you whole.
Feel it caress your body.
Light.
Gentle.

Feel it leave one word at a time.
Allow it to burn in your soul.
Feel it slip down your cheek.
Heavy.
Rough.

Listen to the silence

As the world holds its breath

And waits in hiding

Grass grows in the streets

Parking lots entwine with ivy

Around the rusty carts

And the spaces in-between

Yellow boxes faded by sun through empty windows

No breeze stirs the pavement cracks

Due for mending long ago

Thin cats lick their dusty paws

Stretching out on the hot trunks of cars

Sleeping peacefully

Until the bold rats come out to  play in the moonlight

Skipping down the hoardings

Unafraid

And what of the thousands

Their pale and haunted eyes

Looking from behind every curtain

Radios tuned

Listening

As the world holds its breath

And waits for life to begin again
It is possible to fall in love with a place at first sight
From the first time I came there
I fell in love with this place
Where I always get the peace that I need.
I needed to find a refuge-
My certainties were simply my uncertainties,
Until I met you.
I come to tell you my pain.
As I would say to my mom:
A pathetic but comic refuge.
You are the only interpreter of my silences,
of painful impotence.
My dad says I spend a lot of time with you.
My mom says I'm always sad when I'm with you.
My brothers think I'm depressed because I visit you.
And you, you say nothing.
Because you understand me. You are different too!
The hours pass, the days pass.
These become night and I still got this feeling.
You remind me of my previous lives where I was unhappily happy.
October 8th, the leaves of your trees fall, different colors:
Yellow, brown, red, orange ...
The wind caresses my skin and reminds me of the tea country.
You transport me into a state of melancholy and nostalgia.
January 8th, the light snowflakes fall so silently.
The whispered snowstorm that gives way to sadness and reminds me of the town of Cervantes.
Still in melancholy and nostalgia.
April 8th, new green shoots smoky green, the clouds pass over the youth field ...
I see the leaves trembling, the fresh rains of April.
You remind me of "Pacific pearl".
There is memory, but not nostalgia
...
October 8th, beautiful autumn leaves.
Yellow ones, dries, romantic ones. They fall around:
Wrapping me in silence, bandaging my heart
Healing that wound and massaging the pain.
I don't know if I will live a fifth life, but if I do, I would like to remember you.
You, who listened to me in the silence of pain.
There is memory but not nostalgia.
There is no pain but the wound that will heal.
There is hope in this jungle that rushes me.
And all, thanks to you. To you, dear friend, little sun radiant in the dark.

Death is the end of this life
But it is the door
To another life
so in truth
Death is a beginning
To which do you agree?

With death I did sup
'Twas I who did drink his cup
But it was the door
Death is the end of this life
But it is the door
To another life
so in truth
Death is a beginning

I am emptied
Hollowed out
By you

The wind carries
My hollow body
Far away

A new land
Somewhere I
Can be whole
An ode to starting again, letting your emptiness guide you forward to a brighter place.
