Blood
A river floats inside
me, goes up and down, heavy and light, loud and silent, rumbles and flows. Listen,
the crimson river wants to flow out.
The river is leaking on
that corner, you can hear its dripping sound at night if you press your ear on
my chest or if you swim in darkness.
A tiny stream runs
through the city's crevices, pulsating. Everybody ignores its presence and
bloody smell. The stream keeps palpitating.
A ferrous thick ribbon
comes out from each one of us. It coils round us bonding us together in a
liquid embrace. You can hear its runny sound.
On humid days, our
quivering ruby ribbon rises towards hurricanes, tornadoes and volcanic clouds.
It shines and flows, it soars and leaks.
When we kiss, it boils.
When we touch, it whispers. When we embrace, it mixes. When we speak, it flows.
Our rivers flow. Together. Deep down.
