i can't touch you
i'm forbidden to touch you
to think of you, to sigh
but i can see the seagulls flying over the sea,
and screaming
and flying
i see how the waves are throwing stones at them,
i”m forbidden to look into your eyes
but i can bathe in them like a tear,
and touch your warm cheek, until i drown in leaves,
i'm forbidden to kiss you, but i can look for the summer,
I'm not allowed to touch you, to sigh,
but I can smell you like an orchid
born without laws, without oaths,
before the sphinx man, born of steam and smoke,
look, they overpopulate the earth
shooting "arrows" covered in pollen,
in all directions
