Shroud
You toiled in that suffering death
to which no one has consented,
it because death is an open wound,
with death in passing death.
And the eternal moment of life is an opal
the apple, the serpent and sin are the original
consented by Adam and Eve to be reborn
like blood that is not made of water and flows.
You embodied an idea in your watch,
the prayers of the man who prayed,
relic of culture and holy sacred religions
they created holograms from a cloud.
Believers worship icons, statues
and clouds with human incarnations,
when fear dominates pure thought
as an artificial myth that has eroded consciousness.
