Bicycle

The sun has centered me
into a fascinating glare,
humble reason
amongst simple people
no to be misplaced.

They carry a hidden regret,
that constant abstraction	
makes them survive
the unnamable decline,
those empty sentences devoid of meaning.  

Here I come into the rain
cast into a slander,
clusters of tiny colorful figures 
hastily are crossing the road 
taking shelter of crumpled roofs
ravaged, still living.

Ahead, I catch a narrow way 
through the raucous roar of the bus
a cavernous stomach
packed with bruised stares, 
exhausted and silent.

Never too far is the river
hiding his incumbency
behind the dilapidated architecture.
