the floating world

XI

Women of Troy
sin of the world
have mercy on us


XII

She strives to maintain
the tenth sense of beauty
deriving from the sacrifice
of this rain time


XIII

Time flashes forward in the fourth paragraph
as the fisherman who saw on the road
Dionisio devouring the eyes of a risen Christ

Exaggeration of Constantinople
and the beginnings of the Church compresses time
when the powder is found
in the middle of nostalgic visions
after a period extending on
all the sins of the world

                            ...and in what I have failed to do


XIV

100,000 inhabitants of Kiev
buried in the same ravine
in the womb of a woman
who sold her land to the Convent

three million lives
appear to be key moments
in an empty house
                            Life trickles
                            against my dreams


XV

The ideal state of the old woman
portrays moments in big defeat
where evil has returned to extend
his empty jaws

She seems to start out in a kaleidoscopic dream state
a saint
while whistling a requiem for Adolf Hitler
the vigil breaks through the window now
at the doorbell of a cool graffiti

The aggression unnamed
brings us back to the disturbing ellipses
of reality
This woman only
nails her sorrows
at the threshold of my dreams
