Respirar

Here I am
being
neither skinny nor too invited
neighbor of myself
discomforting to find out
(where will I be yesterday?)
my heart looks at me sideways
and it smiles at me with ellipsis
"welcome to the club of the lonely ones again..."
breathe
give again and breathe
and if destiny looks bad
talk to it in the ear and ask for cards
breathe/more than ever breathe
shake off the shell
and get rid of
the drowsiness, the gossip, three or four wounds...
the news of the past follow me like skinny dogs
I tie a knot in my thumb
to remember to forget
(when do the afters start?)
and since I have dark circles to heal
I lay on the shoulder of my luck
hopefully getting lost smells good...
breathe/give again and breathe
if destiny looks bad
talk to it in the ear and ask for cards
breathe/more than always breathe
suspend the shell
get rid of
the habit of bleeding for the old thorn
and since I have dreams to lose
some nights I wake up against the grain
hopefully everything that comes comes at the right time...
breathe/give again and breathe...
