“Wish you the best”
What does the lover mean?
Most likely what’s best for him
since the circumstances,
those threatening monsters with the nine heads
clench their teeth.
Shamelessly
since that water diluted soup of excuses boils
better in slow fire,
without nostalgia,
as if one is to read a newspaper
with his legs up on a chair
he better undo his heavy
boots that always remember.
“I wish you the best” then.
Would have been better if he wrote:
“Sorry that I couldn’t?”
