I killed my father
that night,
or the other day-
I don't rememeber.
I go escaping with a suitcase
filled with dreams
and amnesia,
and a picture of me
with him
when Iwas young
and when he carried me
on his forearm.

I burried my father
in a beutiful shell
in a deep ocean,
but he found me
hiding under the bed
shaking with fear
and loneliness.

"Like grains of salt
they shone
then melted.
This is how they disappeared,
those men
who did not love me."

“He came to me
disguised in the body of a man
and I ignored him.
He said:
Open up
I am the holy spirit.
I feared disobeying him
so I let him kiss me.
He uncovered
my shy breasts
with his gaze
and turned me into
a beautiful woman.
Then he blew his spirit into my body,
rumbling thunder and lightning.
And I believed.”

“I was on the straight
path
when you blocked my way.
I stumbled
but I did not
fall.”



****


I apologise...
Unaware,
and unintentionally,
my breezes
shook your branches
and dropped the only
flower you'd ever
bloomed.



****



I looked into my mirror
and saw
a woman
filled with contentment
and with bright eyes
and delicious mischief,

and I envied her.

She asked him
for a dream
and he offered her a reality.
Since then
she found herself
a bereaved mother.
