15th DAY or THE LESSON
For Pedro Mateo
We decided to have another lesson today
as if not, as if not
all of us humans powerless
command of the people
or some holy duty that calls upon us.
The tongue, we would say,
eternal and playful!
What the word mascara means?
The extra face! How funny!
The words, small surprises
with their simple meaning, their complex duty.
However our laughter was stopped abruptly
thinking that even the tongue
talks in an absurd way these days.
Night has come, we turn on the light
and our dark glance becomes visible.
Reality graces us with the best lessons
and knowledge is firstly a heavy cloud
that crashes down on you
before it becomes light bed-sheet
that covers you.
