Childhood
Immersed in the childhood of my mistakes,
Cannot distinguish an earthworm
From its mole.
I told the tree; my beloved
Then it bent to the wind
Â
* *Â Â
Â
I thought the bird was a bullet,
I threw myself on the ground,
When it flew away.
Â
* *
Â
I slept with the clock,
So orgasm arriving late,
At the Viagra time.
Â
* *
Â
I tried to hide behind my shoes,
But it betrayed me,
Moving aside.
Â
* *
Â
I walked crookedly,
Throwing shadows with a stone,Â
It bounced back as bullets and bleeding wane moons.
