The blur

Every night I feel sad.
I don't speak my language;
I don't speak my name;
I don't have a name.
I am no one;
An abstract.
The lamb
Cooked on someone's meal.
On the Tiger's tongue:
Teeth and mouth,
saliva,
blood,
but even my blood is transparent;
I am invisible.

Every night I pretend
I play games
I do a theater piece of nothing
An emptiness spectacle
I delete my brain
And my life
As if I was able to erase myself from
the existance whom I 
never belonged to
I don't remember
It's even hard to say what exactly 
I get myself so confused
My mind feels like it's loosing itself
Sometimes I think I lost it for good
And that comes with some sense of relief

Finally
I don't have to worry about getting mad anymore
Now I already am
I don't have to pretend to be sane no longer 

I skip pill days
Like rabbit holes
The more lost I am the better
I want to feel hurt
And I wait anxiously and willingly
for the moment where destruction 
Will find its way back to me

I want to go home
To my graveyard
I wish to disappear in the air
I'll never receive or possess
the privilege to be

Alter

I see you
I close my eyes and see you;

I smell you
I breathe you
Through the smoke
and my polluted lungs
I feel you;

You are here.
I am you.

I hear you
Beating in my chest
How fast
The lack of coherence
A skipping balance 
Cadence;

I taste you
Experiment you
Try out this new type of being,
New type of place,
Strange,
Which I don't recognize at all
because I am you,
now
And you are from another time–space
And around these new ideas
you know nothing about;

Neither are interested to, are you?
That's what I see at least;

Deeply, I listen to you
Not with my ears, you know
I feel you with my skin though
But that's quite relevant 
At each and every goosebump 
I fall in love for you
Another one more time

Baby

Quando eu desato meus cílios
E descaso meus lábios
Para te ouvir me ver
Baixar maré
Solto meus remos, 
Temo
Maremoto, seca
Rio com piranhas
Jacaré, arraias
Águas-vivas
Escorpião do mar
Ou do deserto
Carneiro contrariado
Sou um cordeirinho
Perto do tubarão-tigre
O pensamento de ter o mero direito
Ou chance
De ter um lar
Não confio no Deus que o fez
Que me fez
Porque se te fez, qual dos dois?
No preto ou no branco, ou
se — ainda pior — no cinza?
Porque o mínimo dos riscos
De pisar nessa estrada
De alta velocidade
Em horário de pico
É colocar em teus braços
A cria macia que me pari
Com tanto apreço e desespero
E se ao piscar os olhos
Ela te escapa os dedos
Te soa escorregadia
Pesada demais, mesmo que por
milésimos de segundo
Me sobram cacos
E levei tudo que sou
para cultivá-la
É um projeto
literalmente
de toda a vida.
