ELD MAN
The old man has a heart attack today
with the pleasures that
yesterday conquered with
the heart...
MAGNET
boy!
enjoy this one of yours
heart-magnet that attracts
female hearts before
to demagnetize...
KID
child is an old man
that left him to stay
in a time that we
call future...
DIAMOND
he is a naughty boy
that risks scratching the windowpane
without breaking the glass...
RAINBOW
It's a colored bow
made of a dream...
that connects the earth
to paradise...
When I am in your presence
and our souls are drawn in line
we pale the day in an eccentric way
within the folds of time
When we are separated
our souls demagnetize
We crumble in our delivery
dust to dust and rust inside
I watch the clock impatient
with my fingers tapping your tune
Make ready your feet to be with me complete
under one and the same golden moon
I'm catching the next constellation
to fold and unfold wrinkled time
I'm internally set by the pulse in your wrist
just as you are incumbent with mine...
