We are nothing
but a pile of bodies;
possible, potential carcasses.
Useless, sad, defeated carcasses.
Entrails adrift,
aspirant quarters of bull waiting for our momentary butcher.
With anxiety,
we await our executioner,
we crave it and we loathe it.
Sitting down, we await.
Lying down, we await.
We are pillows soaked in blood,
we are love,
fear and delirium,
we are pure and stagnant water.
Worms and herons
infusing fear;
lambs groping in the darkness
refusing light.
We are open doors
a window closed;
we are panic,
sweetness,
fantasy,
death.
We are opaque colours,
paintings without perspective.
We are the future
and the annulment of Earth,
of the world,
of existence.
We are the Big Bang
and the Apocalypse,
we are God but we live in hell.
We are gelid,
but do not touch us
or you will scald yourself,
turning into ash on contact.
We are the ending,
we are the life,
we are little, huge
and repulsive.
Our eyes
are covered and our ankles tied,
we are free
and barefoot
and our hormones confused.
We are stains of blood
indelible from your path,
we are poetry,
handicap,
earthquake,
paralysis.
We are adrift,
perfect and disgusting.
We are destruction and salvation.
Perdition.
Anything.
Nothing.
We are humans.
