YOU
IMAGE/ MINE


Valorous  visor
Αsk / Gaze
Upon the gravel thy habitancy/ hesitancy /
I hold tightly my two hands
A pray  for a  marble / black/ black
Only black/
Crash you down
Crash me down/
Life with your other face  / small vulnerable thou
Today you / exist  / and   will / will  will willlllll/  for ever
Thinking of you and admire you / what audacity /
You look  around   slapdash/ and curious     /
Loking and Loking
Searching/
For this to beatify / now with tolerance /
Great   you/ now and sure / I find  you /
In a pink tones cloths / and  colored / rooms /
Slippery paths wish / finding
Find you unscathed / light lips
Face altered /only  by joy
Beyond the truth / that  hurts /
Run to catch up /  stop / those  people
So welcomed / invited / time is running
The opposite house/ the nights / look / flickering
A flame coming from  unwarmth  / faces
Yours / you are  hanging a picture /  like painting
You said / Come Life / I will teach you  /Ha
With my  own voice /mine only/
Do not  resist the electric flow of the universe
I let myself / and I am not / that seems to be
I get lost in the size of this world  /
Does not exist /before I even perish
Everything is a drop / already evaporates / before even born /
Now   know it /
Even / even /even
And nonexistent  pain
People are losing /lusting/ for a fresh carrot
I have nothing with carrots…..
But/ yes/ yes/  I want to be baptized
To a name / to a man
To  his  hot/ saliva   /
Keep me  out of the limelight
