To the forgotten
Death will come and you have the memory
dissolved in a coffee liqueur awakening the sense of modesty
of the carved material with veils covering the nakedness
of the spirit revealed to the connoisseurs
of secret stories of the temple.
No one can be placed higher
in the pedestals of heaven
unless he is a saint or an angel,
a bagpipe player –
announcer of the graces
of all the divinities
of the religions of the time
and we believers to sing
their glory, innocent.
Found in the history
of unlikely places
modeled by rainwater,
peoples of the green colonies,
embalmed in resins
of disappeared forests.
