MAYBE

  

Maybe, the perfect word

to describe you:

Cumulus of memories attached to your anagram

all inclusive assumptions

metaphor intact

synagogue without walls

a constant flow of boleros.

The tide was flooding us

there was no loophole left untouched,

its waves swept the darkness away:

I think of you, I think of you

 

Maybe, the indestructible word

tattooed to our history:

There were times that hand in hand I walked with death,

it was the timeless compass of my shadow.

I lacked air in your presence,

and your absence made the wind carry me away:

I think of you, I think of you

  

Maybe, this fall

be like every year:

The well full, the table set and the coffee served

await the arrival of newspaper.

I think of you, I think of you

 

Maybe we slept

and I woke you:

Wearing the armor in which you met me

Its soft touch and the black color

endure

                       protect

deprive the effects of your spear:

I think about you.

I think about you.

  

Maybe, your meaning

be uncertain:

I silence the omens that precede me,

I receive blows and I get up,

you know that no pantheon will be able to have me.

I think of you, I

think of you.

 

Maybe, the world is so small

as to lock it in a ring.

 

Maybe the perhaps of the however

reach for the opportunity.

 

Maybe nightmares are part of dreams

and in sandalwood, wounds are healed:

At night the portraits come alive,

under rain the dawn rises,

my sighs belong to you

every time I think of you.
