GUILTY

The music of hell springs

Through the pores of the earth

A tribe of purslane words patrols space

Far away a voice is heard

Like copper wire, shiver in the corners.

The human destroys…

You can still hear the roar of the blades

At night…

The poet’s voice disappears in the roar

Of the air, that goes hunting carrying words

And he thinks…

Instead of a river, a hand grenade Instead of a sown field, a hungry child

Guilty!!!

Can’t stop the jagged voices

With its jaws full of tender words
