Yesterday walked backwards to the inverted
finishing line to reach the border guards
who keep asking the meaning of my being
they keep barking silly questions. I keep silent over
the new nuisances they drap me in.
the immaculate conception of my
existence shall crowned with thorns

Today inhales the sweetness of my being
renewed in the freedom of my soul
I walk away as the guards are sleeping over
their new addictions which bears my names
their snores fill their inner void

They do not see me: my names are
in the miracle of love
in the fulfillment of dreams.
In the energy of a paradise of the soul

Tomorrow will dip my quill in the blue of the sky
and write the sphynx of my names in tears drops
Each of my dreams lasting until the next lap
of the thirsty sunking.
