yellow flowers

For my best friend, Naomi

 

like yellow flowers

on faded dreams

you came to me

gently,

with the soothing voice

of a sweaty spring

thank you, old friend

for being able to be

dark enough to see

the hidden light

in me

 

i will not go into the times we shared

asphyxia and summer air

juxtaposed to form

an inseparable pair

 

who am I, old friend

when the ship´s horn blares

if you made me who I am

(if you made me scarce)

 

like yellow flowers

on faded dreams

you left me

softly, without

any warning of

the lack of color

(there would be)

without your splendor
