The Flower of Resonance



Even worse.

Perhaps it was erased of the need.

Not the pronouns

Not the clouds

Not the walls

Will unify the resonance.
***

Resonance

Takes the shape of everything.

No exception,

Rather than the bed,

And the face that is veiled

From the interpretation.
***

The enormous apprehension

Dominates,

Till the morning quits,

Along with his bored sons.

And behind the questions

Hides the tragedy

Of the beautiful luxurious one.
***

Even worse.

Not to be the contrast,

For “not a single living creature...”

Behind every window

There are two eyes.
***

Oh, horseman!

Do not whip the back of the sidewalks,

With the scourge.

But wait,

Until the corpses of ages

Are buried.
***

A cry for help.

Perhaps it is a death

Or fire shooting

In the wilderness.

No, it is another flock of geese

Ended.

Geese

Always end

With the same method.
***

Listen, singer

The cassette tape will never last forever.

What if you tried tomorrow?

Tomorrow is full of richness

Whit one condition:

To remain tomorrow.
***

Even worse.

As common sand

That the violet of resonance

Hides on the shelf prepared

For forgetfulness.
***

Please

Serve dreams to the guests

(Guests are poor

they are always in need

of what justifies their presence

since they are leaving anyway.)
***

The clock announces…

But nothing announces

Anything.
***

Even worse.

Did you like the preparation of the dream?

Ladies and Gentlemen

Why you are wearing your astonishment?

It is the joke’s season

And it has mild weather.

Uncover, ladies

And you as well, gentlemen

It is all right to be naked,

The important thing is to enjoy your dreams.

To start from right

Or left,

Is no difference at all

Since you are holding

The flower of resonance.
***

My apology,

Perhaps the music

Is not ripe

No doubt it is the cloud’s fault.

For it did not draw

The traffic signs clearly.
***

Cheers for your delightfulness

Ladies and Gentlemen.

Please have your dreams quickly!

The clock announces

Perhaps…

Definitely it is the quietness

That precedes

The incandescence of the resonance.
