Karma
The Sun will outlast the day,
Van Gogh’s blue
ear flies.
A whisper like the cut of destiny
Bleeds on the glass
Of peeled words.
You tell the
reality preparing
Modigliani’s
revenge in secret.
-
Like
a stone,
Like a leaf,
Cheating
is simple.
( But,
on whom do you think you cheat?)
On our fingertips,
All of us wait for the bullet
Coated with the
lipstick kiss
Of karma, the
unscrupulous widow.
In General
I have seen some
paintings
In which
Death holds the
reins
Nails scratch the
glass
An angel letting
balloons toward the sky
Pinocchio decaying
A crow squatting
on some boy’s shoulder
The hand of art
veiled in black
A skeleton
swimming in the eye
Money closing
mouths
I saw the painting
in which your head
Was dimming above
the water
While you were
standing
And urinating
The blood was
running through the pipe
And the urine was
running through the pipe
In order to reach
your imagined unattainability
