Forbidden Colors

You chant the poetry in a flesh paradise A dream with seven lives, seven angels So violent and still so peaceful Out of the riot Releasing energy all around Bodies moving in darkness Fear is wearing a mask Fragile palms push away the air You breathe from an oxygen tube An insect spreading wings , turning and returning To the initial state Of a cocoon Sweet torture to reach a smile In the garden, trees open wide their eyes To watch the stray painters Playing with forbidden colors Ballerinas on the stage of life Dancing a Butoh
