For Walt Whitman
See in my poem
the most common link
simple elan
that is not difficult
understand...
Feel in my thought
how relative to deny
or claim ...
See in my
point of view
constancy and
flexibility...
the search for the truth,
the pursuit of the ethereal
but with good reason ...
Feel in my spirit
the no stridency
but the conscience
and the humility of
a street beggar ...
Compare me like what
there is more pure
like perfume
of recent roses ...
Compare me with
the proximity
of heavenly bodies,
cosmic dust
that we don't see,
but happens...
Always read me,
(don't lose me)
on the slope
cosmopolitan
universality,
but telluric always ...
Don't read on me,
(may I preserve myself)
incitement to
violence,
hate...
Throw me,
reduce me
to the common
thought...
Note that I keep
idealism:
I'm synthetic,
I'm superlative,
syncretic ...
always human ...!
