''I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti.''
It's four in the morning, and I'm still in the same place. In the same position. In the universe of a thousand light years away from yours. At the moment I do not feel anything. That panic that radiated through my every pore When when you left this afternoon Merged with the walls of smoke that are slowly drenching Stripped window glass. You went forever. I can not remember where. My mind was preoccupied with memories of your hair, The way you eat an orange And of your eyes of the color of seaweed and the trees that are sunking into the sunset. Separation went peacefully. In the manners of black and white films that I can not stand. You never asked me why. You left me in silence, Not even looking back while I watched from the window How your dress crumpled while you were entering the cab. Since then, I have no courage to walk through the apartment Because every corner exudes with you, Each object is wearing your fingerprint. I wonder if I'll ever move from this place, Make that first step without you. Now officially. I'm not bitter, I'm not afraid nor angry. In fact, I feel empty. Empty like the aquarium, which we stored in the closet Once you gave our goldfish to your sister. Maybe I'd feel better if the separation was more dramatic, With some broken object and with slamming doors. At least I'd feel something. Anger, sadness, desire for revenge. Any feeling that would force me to move on, To not become a plant and to not stay Frozen in time and space. Quiet goodbyes are making you think Of the things you want to forget forever, Like your almond scent And arm movements while you are shaking off cigarette ash. If that separation was restless I would do something now, maybe even sleeping. I would not know the number of sunflowers on your dress As you entered the cab And at least I would once again hear your voice While you would scream, cry Or laughed at me in the face. I can not stand quiet goodbyes. You never asked me why.

I started tearing a tissue. An old tissue in which the cotton is easy tearing apart. I tore it into stripes, Twitch it in the small pieces of cloth. It was a summer afternoon, I sat slumped on the kitchen floor. In the distance you could hear the radio. Last night I cried. And this morning. In a dream. Under my withered eyelids You appeared Bringing the blossomed memories. In immoral attempts You want me sunken. Red dust of tissue And that tingling all over me In this icy solitude They take you by your waist And it's like you're here with me, With your head laid on the ****** tiles. Suffering floats through the air Darkened with the walls of smoke. I'm touching your death, Calmed for a long time, I'm saving your pain In the interior of your ribs. I can not tell whether this is really you, Grubby and rotten. Crushed. With my lips I'm touching the red clusters of your brain Which is slowly turning into roses Or maybe cyclamen. You are still present here, Your beauty has not changed Although your eyes are empty and cheeks sunken. I wipe your face remains with a tissue And I cry. I killed you, And put your soul in a jar Painted in the colors of my heart. And now we are here Together reclining in clotted blood Covered with cotton threads Of a tissue.

Love No. 1
Somewhere, in the sleeping corners of the Universe You eat my heart, raw Removing the sticky traces from the lips With your teeth And catching stray drops of juice with your tongue. With red fingers you touch my eyes You crush them Like blackberries and absorb them inside of you. You bite my thighs, Sprinkling them with cinnamon and melt in your throat. You swallow me Gradually, with seeds Wiping your fingers on my cheeks. Do you know that? You have no ******* idea.

Love No. 19
Because of you, I have drowned my hopes. I would kiss your words, But I do not hear them because you do not feel me here, On this sad sky Where sleeping thoughts glide. Fall in love with my attempts, Understand that I have nothing more. My faded smiles seek for you In these cold corridors of my heart, But your steps have become unattainable, strange. You looked at my longings, Caught by contours that are touching This restlessness of our non-existing breath Frosted in your turn on some another love. And I'm alone, Destroyed shadows that surrounded me, Blighted all gateways that are leading to you. And through this wage contours now I'm sinking, I call your eyes, to hear me, To raise me over the hands of despair. I no longer recognize your face, The tone of your lips and the line of your neck. I sank in the salinity of the pain, wondering Have you changed the way you walk And how much rain drops you keep on the lashes. Because I used to know their exact number.

Love No. 10
I want to sleep the dream of the apples, to withdraw from the tumult of cemetries. I want to sleep the dream of that child who wanted to cut his heart on the high seas. I don't want to hear again that the dead do not lose their blood, that the putrid mouth goes on asking for water. I don't want to learn of the tortures of the grass, nor of the moon with a serpent's mouth that labors before dawn. I want to sleep awhile, awhile, a minute, a century; but all must know that I have not died; that there is a stable of gold in my lips; that I am the small friend of the West wing; that I am the intense shadows of my tears. Cover me at dawn with a veil, because dawn will throw fistfuls of ants at me, and wet with hard water my shoes so that the pincers of the scorpion slide. For I want to sleep the dream of the apples, to learn a lament that will cleanse me to earth; for I want to live with that dark child who wanted to cut his heart on the high seas.

Federico Garcia Lorca: Gacela Of The Dark Death
With bitterness. I bring myself near your face. In myself I break All of  desire for happiness. Just Be here. I keep you in the blue spaces of my thoughts, Where the raindrops can not reach, Where sunflowers Wither in solitude, Where words break the silence In countless shards of your touch And the walls are touching the glass clouds Where I carve your every breath. I can not plunge myself in your eyes, I'm drowning in their depths Of the colors of oak bark and fruit of the first chestnuts. Don't ask anything, Just pour my fingerprints on you In eternity, In the sound of lips separation, In the softness of skin pressed against the cheek. Feel my suffering Whispering in your ear.

Love No. 23
I found you half-dead. In your eyes, pupils were still giving away the scent of love Breaking the harsh silence and the dark shapes of ****** footprints Painted on your face. The line of your body, turned into a mosaic bloomed scars, Awakened a yearning inside of me, chopped my heart In the timid kisses and gave away the color of your veins Scattered on the fabric of our first awakenings. In the depths of your flesh I'm trying to find the deafened sobs I've listened to the dreamy nights Under the veil of your skin, Hidden from all sadness hungry of my tears. I'm leaning your bloodless fingers on my lips Listening to your presence. By kissing your ******* I'm diving my touch in your naked Lungs, spread out like a butterfly Imprisoned inside your glass body. With my tongue I'm discovering the taste of your neck, Decorated with a red line Of my love. I'm biting your vocals, Remembering of your laughter that still echoes In the spaces of my thoughts. You're still beautiful, safe in my arms. You give away your happiness with a smile on your torn face. Your love reaches me through a mild rushes of wind. I'm leaning my cheek on your ankles, The softness of your flesh overtakes me by passion. And you are giving me your last stirrings of life That you don't need with the tenderness that my breath is giving you. I lie down next to you on the bed soaked in red, I'm overtaken by the smell of rotting roses and smooth juices In which we sink together. I'm putting the remains of your waxy face on my shoulder, I'm choked by soft closeness of your tangled hair Packed on the pillow. And I feel your gratitude, While the sweet sounds of loving Float through our world, Safe and bloomed.

She has a heart of cedar color And dreams in shades of peony and lotus stems. She leaves the smell of cyclamen and ripe apricots Behind her, Those who are crying in the shadows of Magnolias Are finding a shelter within her. Sometimes I imagine that I'm the sea foam That is touching her ankles And the air that envelops her lips, Absorbing her every move, That is reflected in the mosaic of her pupils. Her thoughts are sleeping in the depths of my veins, In every pore that absorbs her voice I can hear her breathing. I remain frozen in her existence And in the contours of her shadow, All of what I have seek so far I have found in every thing on which she brushed. After all, I'm just a pale reflection of the stars In her night sky, The dying firefly in her garden Of white poppies and wild rose hips.

Love No. 3
Lonely I'm burning under your skin I'm drowning in a tide of your blood I love you with my fingers, with my teeth, With coral hollows of my neck, And You don't even know it. Maybe you don't need to know That I'm eating you Like unwashed strawberries. Quietly, I'm spreading you Over my lips, I'm melting you on my taste buds, I feel you gliding down my throat, And ruling down my bowel, You are twitching of surprise with My every bite. Covered with coconut flour You are resting on my thighs, You do not read my mind because for that It takes more than a touch Something decorated with Baroque epithets, Hidden in the meadow with dandelions, Something that is not ours and should not ever be spoken. I drink you like wine left in the sun, I sleep in the corners of your moves, And You don't even know it. Maybe you don't need to know.
