STRINGS GALORE
I’m in constant heat flavoring my life with discovery when the hormonal changes beat my un-spayed heart my irritability calmed down so much along the years the irregularities of existence are now Sudoku to me my inflamed heels are reminders that everything is yet to come I’m just getting out of retained placenta a vaginal polyp releasing ink inviting me to retrieve my freedom back I used to write beautiful poems, in my mum’s womb yet I’m a crying prolapse, escaping my burning skin keep on walking, my captain and If skin is coming down, losing your direction hold your pen against alopecia hold your breath against tomorrow an hanging wreath against my sorrow
SO SILENT
maculate spots your kiss stands out like spicy sauce we’re inbreeding hope aligning our breaths via dna to see that we’re flaring towards a circumstantial halo made of every day carinho diamantine rocks your touch speaks out like adamantine schlock we’re cross reading our schedule connecting our pauses via lungs Wi-Fi to see where we’re running towards a generational parade made of every day beijinho
THERE WERE TIMES
There were times in which I asked the wind to lick your nipples to make you die of joy those days when I was cuddling the idea of an escape by building a time machine challenging the impossible with my usual stubbornness I would have loved to hear you laughing tying my arms around your chest tasting such warmness ferociously snore seeing your nudity standing by my euphoria I woke up with your fading being my lighthouse in the dark and time changed it all it pushed my dots and commas it smacked my smoky illusions my meaningless wanderings You won’t return to my open door so I silently tell the wind to tenderly explode you around as breeze, as a kiss, as the me I couldn’t be as my deepest wish my animalistic prayer lost in a forever I will never forgive
