ALIENATION OF ATTRACTION
The flesh became page
the skin paper
the caress a vague concept
the body a new theory of the inexistent.
Truly, how can I describe
nature when it has abandoned me
and only in the premiere of autumn
sometimes it remembers to invite me?
I hope to find the courage
to express my last wish:
to see a naked male body
to remind myself and to carry
as my last image, the male body
that isn’t flesh but a future
substance beyond the flesh.
Because that is the meaning of lust:
to touch the perishable
and push death aside.
