AGAINST THE WALL OF SKY
Against the wall of the sky
***
I come home tired, and
Troubled, and terrified
Already by human vultures;
At the foyer of the home,
A very hungry creature
Eagerly waits for my life;
Its eyes penetrate my eyes
Its nose smell my body
Its lips taste my words
And its hands eat my purse
Its lust craves for my blood
As I thirst for a sip of water,
I drink my tears to appease my dryness;
Afraid of the dark night approaching,
My dress holds me tight beseeching me
To not to leave;
The poisonous perfume slowly
Asphyxiate my lungs and heart;
The kiss with its hiss bites its venom
Into my pharynx;
The insidious love in its rapid motion
Ties me to the raping romance;
I lay down on the bed as a prey
To carnivorous cannibal;
The life beats its heart against
The wall of the sky;
The fantasies of tranquilizers
Are shattered by the nightmares;
Still, I lie in the life under the shield
Of promising death
To begin the next day with howling;
No one is born here to aid me
So,I do very often; visit my burial to hug me:
