Metamorphosis

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…
