Mother and Child

We’re all dreamers; we don’t know who we are.


Some machine made us; machine of the world, the constricting family.

Then back to the world, polished by soft whips.


We dream; we don’t remember.


Machine of the family: dark fur, forests of the mother’s body.

Machine of the mother: white city inside her.


And before that: earth and water.

Moss between rocks, pieces of leaves and grass.


And before, cells in a great darkness.

And before that, the veiled world.


This is why you were born: to silence me.

Cells of my mother and father, it is your turn

to be pivotal, to be the masterpiece.


I improvised; I never remembered.

Now it’s your turn to be driven;

you’re the one who demands to know:


Why do I suffer? Why am I ignorant?

Cells in a great darkness. Some machine made us;

it is your turn to address it, to go back asking

what am I for? What am I for?
