Portable woman
With a solemn effect in solitude
Earthly derision, the woman
When his heart is elsewhere
If what I love is granted to me
I am saved
If what I love withdraws
Destroys itself
I'm lost
I don't like my dreams, but I tell them
And I like other people's when they show them to me.
______
Anxiety and worry
Purify, reduce, sterilize, destroy
Sowing, multiplying, feeding, destroying
______
Paranoia
In sight of the coast
Heard about some fish
Neighbors of the earth
Let's leave the sea
Let's hold on to the movement
Firm banks
The river flows down like an egg
And we are the birds.
______
Sterile eyes
She is like a bud
The space of the flame
Candide, she has the aroma
Lovers embracing.
