Humanity Constellation
yesterday
I worked without being able to control myself
I thought I was a guy in a pot of clouds
coming out of one of the earth
frightened
at midnight the endless midnight and I stretched out my hands
to catch him
to run
I fell asleep tired
stolen into nothingness
almost morning
you opened my eyes to me in new burrows
your eyes dripped over my writing
mangoes and we smell the holiday smell
tens of shining stars
I, a restless animal, run away from home
I was picking on love
we sweeten your footsteps, the footsteps of humanity
caught from flight to flight
the wonder rolled through the reverberated circles
echoes where unseen
how many thousands of years in the unknown
how many days on earth
small and scared
will they fit into your arms?
suddenly
I was ashamed of my fear
I answered
I kept quiet and went on with my life
where I left her trapped
no, I'm not a child left, even if my heart
that's how it felt one day
I cried out in nothing and dozens of lights went on,
dozens of houses and = have opened the doors for me
I have a long journey to do
joining in a drawing
outlined from one to the other
our lives
in one
