Beings

the outline of the silhouette suggests a torso but a torso is not a man the concentric circle emerges from the surface of the lake and the insect revolves in the center if the air had consistency there would be a slit along the wing of any being also neural tissue vibrates if tensioned and results in sensation the cover of everything is defragmented to generate what it cannot manage the numbers spread over the shapes guiding their conformation the sound obeys this law and behaves like a gelatinous and feverish wave the suspended state of the muscles dams the eruption of tears every mouth that wants to smile turns off the brain that wanted to cry time restructures and falsely rises because it doesn't exist death comes in cycles and infinitely accumulates its victories the man lies down and sleeps dreams invade the dark parcels of any understanding the most practical thing is forget about this linearity get used to vaporous columns of lost thoughts silent dive and swallow the lake insect ceasing its agony time to get out of the water and grow wings start anew the ventures that prevent starvation it is with this formless material that we mold to heal wounded concepts

You have penned some powerful word pictures, calling to mind images of man in his daily journey. I pondered the phrase "time restructures and falsely rises because it doesn't exist," not quite sure what you mean, but challenging my mind is a good thing! Good writing, Marco.

"beings" is an old text I wrote when I wasn't quite sure of the veracity of the existence of time... lol
