Three Poems About Sorrow
I
The spider and my life
but an erotic summary
sorrow of the leaf
small organism of nothing.
In each of my corners
a trapped lion
a desperate ant
an extreme shadow of light
and I’m even grayer
than yesterday.
I sweeten time
with a childish Heaven
till the day
one day
that I’ll find courage
in death.
