The Red Letters

I cut the piece that connected me to that state

I launched a part on the high seas

and the other one I swallowed as proof of hate

don't remind me of that anymore, please

I turned out the daylight when I longed for darkness

I grabbed every light I could and buried it under my feet

and, perhaps, for sinning against some law or force, I felt armless

and despite the lack of light, I had to cross lands and lands under a burden of heat

these were the garments that God gave me

in vain attempt to blow and save me

naked as i was born to dress in nudity again

please God, take this fire, give me rain

I sold the house of a lifetime to buy the cave of a dream

nobody told me that there would be no windows but a door to the cliff

the first day I watered the flowers and noticed that there was a kind of steam

rising from the ground like a column of accusations in hieroglyphs

I broke the part that moved the gear clockwise

butterfly to caterpillar, I am resurrecting to return to the womb

my mother, fed by youth, touches me to open my eyes

while my dad pretends to whitewash the moldy walls of his pet tomb

these were the garments that God gave me

in vain attempt to blow and save me

naked as i was born to dress in nudity again

please God, take this fire, give me rain
