Continuum
Unclasped it falls buzzing
like a wasp in a clean jar
unclasped from the underbelly
of the airplane
the bomb falls
wirelessly sending message
to computer that switches
into replacement mode
factory on alert for spent bomb
button pushed, robot’s
memory card awaken
to build the replacement
absurd absence of absurd sanity

Remember the baths
where you were murdered
I woke up having in my hands this marble head
that exhausts my elbows and I don’t know where
to lean it.
It was falling in the dream as I was coming out of the dream
thus our lives joined and it will be very difficult for us to
separate again.
I gaze at it in the eyes; neither open nor closed
I speak to the mouth that keeps trying to speak
I touch the cheeks that have gone through the skin.
I don’t have any other strength;
my hands disappear and come back near me
mutilated.
