THE BEST
I need to believe
In a magic somewhere
To go when I leave.
Being nothing out there
I know the best place to rest
Is by my Seine, with my cats, definitely the best.
EPITAPH
He loved with an intensity
That put the sun´s fire to shame.
Let that, Lenore, be an epitaph for me,
The best way to remember my name.
MIRACLE
I refuse to believe in miracles, but, guess …what´s that?
I´ll credit nature as a goddess, for she made my Gnat.
CRAVINGS
Cravings are your belly´s memories
About past felicity and future delight.
CATS
On a sultry summer day
Clouds puff whiskers and paws,
Tails and snouts and claws
As a premonition that if someday
Reincarnation may prove true.
I may come back to life again, as a cat, too.
SOLARIS
Cat swallowed a sun, it glows in its eyes
And rumbles in its warmth.
TRINITY
If you were real
I´d love to tell you
How I feel.
They taught us as was due
That you´re a trinity
But, truth to tell
It sounds like nonsense to me.
As a father, you fell
Into the worst thing you could do.
You never loved your son
If you sacrificed him too.
As a father that I am I look upon
You as the worst monster there can be.
As a father of 4 children, no,
I´d never send them to death, not me!
I´d spare them any woe.
Holy Ghost? What ghost or spirit fair
Were you but a lascivious cad
Who took another man´s bride and made her bear
A bastard? Holy… was that the best holiness you had?
Son. If bearded Jesus was your son indeed
He seems most likable of all the lot, in a way.
Yet he was too submissive, and despite his deeds
He should have known better than to obey.
I don´t like you, god. I don´t.
I´ve asked you to show up, but you won´t.
You aren´t even dead.
I suspect you never existed, instead.
