eternity

you ask me to don’t forget

where our bodies have gone

and why they’ve gone so far

a night in so many nights

where I don’t recognize you

body heated up with some other fever

and a smell that is no longer the same

be kind and comprehend

that I live with that distress

of misplacing things

so remote from where we stand

a trace that doesn’t trace much

and a smile that celebrates wrong things

I decline to drink

I own no longer those bottles

being dry

keeps me from failing

drops are falling down and I don’t know

how

I don’t know exactly where to

sow

the work that I made

in this mode

the exact mode I always work

where I keep my bottles closed

enough just to don’t fail

to don’t leave

because I love where I get drunk

and I write where I make love

you may not get this now

you’re young, I know

but

we will see

time is the only thing that subsists for people like me

lots and lots of time

I forgot the smell

and the features

all those lines and traces

they’ve been there so long

I disremembered

all of it

but time

won’t left

and I won’t forget time

it has remained here so long

I can’t evoke

I can’t reconstruct

it’s misplaced, it’s all blurry

there was no alternative

I couldn’t tell you

I can’t tell you

cause I know you will leak

I know you leak

you leak sometimes when I’m around

you leak every time I’m around

and no words in this world

are able to explain

why leaking is unnecessary

I won’t remember

so please, do not leak

I know you won’t

but just in case you forget too

don’t worry

we will remember some day
