The weird taste of the ground is not as bitter as
a day in life. Although the worms have
no shame in sucking, at such a short time, the rest
of where once laid life in me.
Not that there was much left, of course. I was stabbed so many times
that my dripping blood could paint a catholic church.
Death is a sweet lady, actually.
Blinded herself so she could not see the souls
she was forced to take, bringing no matter who when
Time decides. He is not as kind as death, I
assure you. He steals everything from
everybody and does not hesitate. He is cruel,
sadistic
and wrathful because no one here fears him
anymore. You can't take away things from
those who already hold nothing.
I hate to disappoint you all but at this side? It is
a huge nothing. It is each one of my thoughts, it's the sound
of all the non released screams and is the river
of all the never shed tears who are gonna swallow all of us any minute now.
It is me. And Life. And Time. And Love. And
Death. Forced to look into each other to find
out
how I have not lived, have not loved and have
not feared.
I see Death's subtle smirk to be the first one
that ever met me.
And the only. Love searches carefully and unceremoniously
my whole body.
No prints
No scars
No place
No flowers
No mourners
Nor funerals
Because there is a place for the bad, and for the
poets, and for the ones poisoned by love
but there is no place for the forgotten and unremembered.
Who never lived nowhere has no home to
return.
My unmarked soul stands still through their
final gaze, and Life's shadow whispers
in a language I never learned.
Somewhere an ethereal bell rings.
The sweet relief of Death frees all of us the
same way.
Without consent, her kiss wakes me up to the
infinite.
