Rain, like a cathedral humbling the city
its greatness- the heart-breaking howl of a hyena
far away, a dog’s barking his apathetic end,

Uniform song breaking the symphony of thunders
waters sizzle and shiver
washing the eye where I keep you.
I close it, under a padlock of silence, not to drown your illusions
the flood grows, washing invented or real sins
who, in the name of good, keeps evidence?

A girl suicides cutting her vein
from which mixed stories and sorrows are spilled
wind whips the passengers’ cheeks
and they mumble an agglutinant penitence
terrified by the almost biblical flood

Where are you?
covering my face lined by the nightmares invaded by fright
I cry.
forget about the blunted kisses
I once used to scratch your body with
and save me,
I cried

but rain retired, with sins and sorrows
leaving behind an endless cortege
of unstarted dreams
of impotent looks
far away, a dog’s singing his apathetic end,
misshapen barking flooding the symphony of silence
