I shave

I shave my face

In front of the mirror

I am careful

Experient

I spread the foam

I clean the blade

I stare at me

Serious, with methodical precision

Full of proper gadgets

I don’t miss childhood

Insomnia

Insomnia is the slow torture of the soul

The prison of dreams

A garden of yellow anguishes

The waiting for never

A bird

Flying

searching for the horizon

A raft in the desert

Waiting for the next rain

The insomniac’s hunger has no name

And when one does not insits that it exists,

when one desists,

It finally goes away

Only with the dawn of the day

Reading in bed

I am where

I want to be

I refrain myself

from thinking

I feel I am

at a non-place

There is joy

There’s disgrace

I travel, dream

Stop the time

I’m the lord

Of mine

And I forget

the obligation

of existance

Then my sleep calls

And my head falls

Invisible

I disappear a little

Whenever I see her

She knows I ilke her

She pretends so well I am nobody

That I believed it

My neighbor

I spy from the window

My new neighbor

She is old and lives alone

Her hair is dyed

Tired eyes

Fake teeth and rare smile

She’s noisy

Screems, shouts, groans

Snores, yaps, moans

Two o’clock

And the lights are on

Probably thinks of the days

When she was not grown

The waiter

The waiter stares at me

With his glass eye

Asks if I’m satisfied

As soon he charges the bill

Takes the bottles, just a few

m

I keep waiting for him to take me too

I just don’t know whether I go to the kitchen

Or the garbage can

For the girl in the bus

She has colorful socks and hair

Half short, half long

In the swing of the bus

Closes her eyes

Sleeps and dreams

Or pretends to sleep

to pretend to dream?

Sees her self

In a Fellini train

Crossing an unknown

Village, a castle

Covered by a golden fog

She knows the journey ends

When she gets to her destiny

But she barely knows where to go

Only knows she wants to leave

This girl is more doubts than certainties

More ideas than beauties

But she’s more free than prisoner

More lilac than purple
