Canis Et Canis

or was it my dreamless eyes
that you distinguished it was already night?
I really can't say.
did you see that in them the future had died?
the truth is that I sent these signals
trying to show some clues,
show you before tragedy what I am,
as a warning to your tears.
now the world like a rainbow no longer exists,
we jackals attack in packs but we are solitary.
I wish I had the dexterity of calm hearts,
subdue the genesis of my insolence with kisses,
but inside you already know how it is:
in the end it all comes down to flesh, blood
and need to survive.
rejoice, you are still alive.
