Today, at the end of the sea, I would like to know
what did you do the night I did not see your hand,
what did your books and your last mirror,
what did your dream body do when I was not there
opening lights of hundreds of stars
in each word of love discovered towards you.
What did you say last night
to the new silence perched on your pillow.
Learn to take me,
I'm still doubled for you.
Today, at the end of the sea, I would like to know
what pill was filling your dream,
what edge cut your desire to name me,
what wing did you think to find to lift so much weight
and make it so easy, as if my hug
It was going to break with flying.
There is so much memory, there is so much and with wings
-alas that follow us to heaven, to death.
Learn to take me,
I'm still doubled for you.
Today, at the end of the sea, I would like to know
if it was coincidental that you found the friend
that a whole afternoon saw you remembering
and so he told me in the voice of a sublime executioner,
making a day of sun day of graves,
damn song to forget.
This was broken, by four words,
the wide hiding place that I used to escape.
Learn to take me,
I'm still doubled for you.
Today, at the end of the sea, there is nothing to do
with this distance without time and space,
with this tenacious distance, always close,
with this distance of furious thoughts,
yours, butchers, who never rest,
that burn the waves with blows of wind and song.
There is nothing we can do that can take us away
of the skin grown between our bodies.
Learn to take me,
I'm still doubled for you.

Only among all we can make this a better place :)
