Memory Portrait
dare you to paint
a portrait of me
by memory
just with simple strokes
that you kept
on the fingerprints
and the shadows
in your innocent look
I'm a clown
who goes around
giving the naked face
in the alleys, in the squares
by any light
unpainted...
I'm a mutt
who goes around
giving the naked face
in the alleys, in the squares
of any light
unpainted...
I'm a homeless
who goes around
giving the naked face
in the alleys, in the squares
under any light
unpainted...
dare you to paint
a portrait of me
by memory
with all the details
that you already forgot
in the apple of the eyes
and in the eyelashes that
fall to the ground!
