PILLOW

Accomplice of vehement thoughts.

Burning in moments of passion.

A burning heat that bites at the temples.

Softness that displaces my anxiety.

It muffles a breathed cry.

It returns with texture another relief.

It excuses torrents of hostility.

It reflects visions difficult to find.

And at dawn, sunk

Bearing the weight of so much sorrow.

You rest, ready to receive other hours.

And to give peace: dreaming and dreaming.
