Love
Shi enters in
the eyes
In January she
dances on your forehead
Shi descends to
the chin
Makes a nest in
the heart
Shi swims in the
blood
Shi smells
through the pores
In August, the
sun shines on the abdomen
To keep your feet
warm in December
And so on
Shi wastes the
seasons
Until the last
July when
Shi breaks your
heart.
What else can be
said?
Breath
January…
I walk fast in
the dark
I cut the cold
air
and I imagine
your warm breath…
the streets in
front of me
becomes a story
in which we hold
our hands…
I am the one
you have been
waiting for
your whole life
I smile,
I turn into a
whispers
who becomes a
song.
Ariel
Dedicated to
Sylvia Plat
The lady comes
out of her glass bell
to stretch her
legs,
To put the potatoes
to boil
for those two
hungry mouths
to talk to the
bees
to greet death
Shi is always
here,
sitting in her
place next to the door.
The typewriter
is silent
The clean lines
of the dresses fall
Here she is,
trying to recognize her father
- Life is dying,
don't you see?
Do not you hear
the voice of Ariel who has become an echo,
an echo that
fills time?
The lady enter
in her glass bell
To turning on
the gas
To close the
door tightly
To singing to a
death
To say goodbye
to winter
To welcoming an eternity
To put her head
in the oven.
* Ariel is a
masculine name meaning "lion of God" in Biblical Hebrew.
