BREAD
Warm
like woman’s long dress
like its ends
that kiss the paths
made by a man
for the feet
as white as the bread
made for him.
IMPERFECT
Under my beautiful face
I am not perfect
Like the ugly remains
Of the grave covered with flowers
Even if I go with the smile
My teeth will be lying
Like pearls in the box.
COCK
cock is blind
once it gets into a dark pit
and washes its face at the source
it will be able to see
and the source will turn into river
so great that will flow into the ocean
and the ocean will become so great
that will flood the whole world
and there will be no more continents
BEN-HUR
Many women visited your house
But only I your temple
Many bodies burned for you
But only my soul blazed
Many women trampled down your clothes
Only I dressed you in laurel
Many of them drifted in your skin
But only I plunged into your blood
Many women will smolder for you
But only I'll be your Esther
