Things you don't deserve

I loved you
like they love hierarchies
the order of the hungry days on the calendar
the perfect and disturbing number of the edges of the curves
of your face
the sequential order
ribonucleic
of the words stuck, dried
in our suspended moments
like soap bubbles
destined to burst in a while
I loved you
between the wet sheets
where I lost myself
dissolving votes
dissolving knots
dissolving myself
deconstructing my artistic velleity
unnecessary, at this juncture
no, not now, not here
when I have in front of me the opera omnia
Your body naked and silent
and free
and dull and without explanation
I survived
at the end of the ideals
I was little
he lit the television
fires were lit in the streets
walls collapsed
flags were burned
- it was believed - it was right
I also believe
That I was right
the righteous, yes, the righteous
think too much
and are destined to die
and in fact I 'm dancing with Thanatos
For some years now ,
Actually since I've been alive,
and what can you do it´s my life , the life, mine .
I have like a worm inside
An infiltration , which corrodes the walls of the soul
even when - just when -
I think I'm happy
When my hands tight slightly that dirty piece of cloth
which they say is happiness
A trickle of sadness
that form immense chasms
huge stalactites
cosmic, karst * landscapes in which to lose
not happy , anyway
a black hole at the center of my solar plexus
for all the defeats of history
summarized blissfully in me
in all my mistakes - the compulsion to repeat
and in my complete nullity
I would like to be born
in the steppes of a not well-known sovietic
socialist republic
unskilled worker, perhaps foreman
a piece in a bigger design
gaping and bumpy, but bigger than me
the dream of dreams of real socialism
more real than a punch in the face
or than the cold when is thirty degrees below zero
that takes your breath away
But I lose myself
without points of reference
I wait for you at home, listlessly ,
I and all the weight of my nullity '
sixty pounds to be exact
in hospital I have been greased -
I would like to sink
inside of me
tossed inside
like a glove
and show you all my inmost being ,
the hideous tangle of intestines knotted, but never like thoughts
if this could help in any way
I would like to be a puppet
For a good firewood
to be cut to get us chairs, stools
I would like to be helpful to someone about something
in this senseless life
in which I am a bank account
a customer, a data of market
a vacuum to lose
I'm not worth 'cause I do not work , I haven´t studied enough
'cause I do not have kids, ' cause my phone is from 2000´s
I just want to die
rot in the bed , in the secrecy of a forest
soak in the silence
become grass
trees that synthesize nutrients through me
devoured by the wild beasts by worms by flies
be finally
one
Stop thinking
stop loving you
stop trying to be happy and being sad because I can´t be whole happy
should love you less
love you otherwise
- you would not even realize of -
and not feel anymore this dark lump
enveloping
in the place of the heart
