Penelope awaits Ulysses forever

 

cherry blossom time
white perfumes
and the pristine skies
no artificial satellites
and reduced possibilities
of precipitation

falling masks...

mischaracterized characters
a gram of time
on the edge of the extinguishing candle
empty stage open scene
red fruits that kiss
the arch of the roof of the mouth

blooming flowers and wind
green flaring nostrils
the crusaders return
many years later
missing the smells
of the cherry trees
and the columns of the cloisters

only Ulysses doesn't come back
alone, Penelope waits
just do and undo
the nights that turn into days
Penelope languishes hopes
powered by eminences
of a return
from the chaos of return

all bodies attracted
by the siren song
have a tendency
to return to inertia
constant acceleration
return to origin
zero work

crusades
via crucis delenda Carthage
recessive count
slow running
an entire empire
in the trench coat pocket
and the front commission
evolves
present your plots
and the fingers of the prestidigitator
frozen
wrinkled
crooked as the claws of
harpies

the sound of the lyres
violins and berimbaus
stiff and crooked dry body
beautiful body dead body
procession of mourners
painful stabat mater
battering rams
catapults
panoply
battery director generals

drummer pharaoh
Astronaut Flag Bearer
Mandarin samba school
paranoid apnea
giraffe women bottle trees
unfurled flags
the borders invaded
sunken cathedrals
and cherry blossoms
fill the sky with clouds
with white petals

the fruits pop
red
like the chant of the monks
to weave eternal tapestries
to count the absence
of the heroes...
