Lighting

but please stay away from heavy thoughts, sad songs and their meanings, keep away from hidden words in the dictionary, we just ripen fast in pain and the ink didn't even dry on the calendar, we already learned what there was to unlearn with our ignorance and if you don't see the thread that connects everything don't insist on metaphors, stay away from very tall trees, avoid attractive precipices and their protruding edges, remember that great volumes of water only imitate tears, that the nights comfort the cowards but hide the savages, remove from the shelves the already expired cans of perfect concepts, separate your hands in contrition; forgetting the chains and shackles of the mind does not free us from our own prison.
