Babel

All in silence
Calm is a chance to speak
Launching into Babel
Which is to listen to oneself
Precise step

With fear no one knows how to give
Illuminate the ground
Within oneself
So that they are seen clearly

The forms of what I feel
The shadows of what I fear
The remnants of what I could
And that I gather in prayer
To eternalize myself

Nothing is permanent
Lean your eyes on the altar
Sacred image
Which is to see oneself

Serene gesture
Extend the hand to offer
Nightfall the sky
Within oneself

So that the complaints of what I was
The leftovers of what I had
The verses that bleed me
And that I gather in song
To eternalize myself
Leaving things as they are
To disentangle myself
