Now I am a rabbit
I jump the fence landing nearby
and I fall into a deep dream like Alice in that country…
Now I am a snail
in the restless ear of a
girl
who thinks she hears the waves waves waves and in the distance
someone says goodbye…
Now I am a butterfly
emerging from the depth of a tree
they have cut off my head, replaced my branches with flapping
wings…
Now I am an empty glass
the water waiting for the fire that doesn’t even light
the wet earth that stays dry, the air that quickly dishevels your
hair…
Every moment presses me
transforms me blurs me and reconstructs me
every moment
is enough to die a thousand times to be reborn without noticing …
Now I am Adrian
5 feet 11 inches black graying hair brown eyes
but only for a moment because there is some one or something more
waiting in the metamorphosis line…
