Glimpses of Sadness
your eyes follow the sun underneath the closed lids
like a hum or a hummingbird’s flight
small bubbles trying to reach a frozen lake’s surface
a whole life torn into bits
like from amber caught in some gracious death
insects come out when they pop
and they fly ever higher soaked in your breath
as mine stops
here I am barefoot
on the brink of the whirlpool
of the black hole that takes
the place of your heart
there’s a big machine heading towards us
threatening to tear down the walls
slaves see different figures at lead
but behind the wheel of the past
there is no one
and probably there has never been
except us
the lack of traces disturbs me
like it could all be wiped out
no evidence for emotion and act
no carbon dating for the rage we put in our love
for it’s around that it all revolves really
and the salt in our tears was sprinkled on food
on the lemon we indulged in along with tequila
or another oleous drink that wouldn’t get us moving ahead
pissed in the wind
the lizard that lay here before me
has taken away all the warmth of the rock
