The blue hole

    A blue hole    
with charred lips    
rose from the bowels.        
 
    Did I have to remember    
of this cloistered childhood    
where my head in unreason    
knocked against the walls.        
 
    Between the rocks at the water's edge    
I sculled hard    
not to be retained for any form    
the coming age    
iron ring    
to the seagulls of hell    
to those southern seas
object of my dreams of finitude.     
 
    gray metal walls    
Ringed chains    
that the slaves dragged.        
 
    There was a before and an after    
but the, point d'horizon    
the remugles in all directions     
bathed in oppression    
we were sailing towards life    
me the stillborn    
looking for a shore    
stranded like the magnificent puppet    
blood and gold mixed
in the land of extinct dialogues.               
 
    Came late     
the expected woman    
that even wolves    
howled in recognition.        
 
    There was a party in the forest    
where dark labyrinths    
could host the ceremony    
a ray of light    
piercing the foliage    
in the clearing of instincts.        
 
    I had to put words    
but the words said nothing    
even in purple ink    
on the ink-stained table    
the milk jug contained    
the precious nectar    
and the chain jingled    
with tender curves    
future time.        
 
    Wake up    
collect your belongings    
if the storm breaks    
at the edge of the ditch    
we'll go get the daffodil and the narcissus     
provided that the school bus comes,    
the blue hole awaits us.
