The mirrors

these frozen waters of the real

are the amused and full of sarcasm

witnesses of our perpetual change

we are looking involuntarily

every one of us in our own mirror

today tomorrow over a hundred years

and we don’t notice the flat nose the slanting brow

the blunt and hairy face

we don’t know that our walking is shambling and hunched

we don’t know that we look our fellows for louses

in the thick fur soiled with sentiments

which cover their bodies

we are wistfully glancing at the stars

while every tree irresistibly attracts us and we laugh

but even worse is the fact that every attempt of speaking

degenerates into grimaces twists buffooneries

imitations and even less than this

but the imitations of some long ago

lost imitations

at dawn I’ll leave shrieking hunched

to look for a cave to sleep

and to notch my obsessions.
