God's Small Beings
1
Alef
Lam
…… Mim.
in the Order of the Prophet
an invisible singer of my faith
in the Order of Love
but with
only the caprice of a gulp and
this tiny hyacinth entwines my crystal body.
2
Man, sinks in the mirror
woman,
……………… grows up in the mirror.
3
Relation
a reverse beginning
on the way of lost voyagers of dreams.
4
Man,
……. a burnt stub
Woman,
……. her heart lost to
………………….. the powder compact.
5
When the grey curtain of the nights
from the verdant stature of panicles
……………………………………… fell
the Meteor of lust
……………………………………… was also
……………………………………………….. dead.
6
Without shoes
bare feet, his heart
……………………… man moved through life,
through sand,
………………… smoke
………………………….. and
………………………………… fog
meanwhile
………………… woman had already arrived.
