You jump

..

I jump

in deep water

not to cross the ocean

not to compete with the killer whales

or the great white sharks

not to find the biggest pearl in the world

or Nemo

not to solve the mysteries of Titanic

or the secret of alternative life

not to understand about sand

and seagulls and sailors

and the goodness of algae

not to watch the Spanish dancers

or the dolphins

or the corral grow

not to feel the salt climbing into my pores

and the big blue flooding my senses

I jump

in deep water

just to be with you

wet, under, holding.

our hands and our breaths

..

Optimus Anonymous

as birds scratch the sky

so the clouds can bleed

feathers and fear

over a world in greed

we watch with our hands

soft and ready to kill

for whatever we love

or the secrets we seal

collapsed in the same

cull de sack of the mind

thoughts linger alone

in the land of the blind

we never surrender

when sick and in love

become pure and tender

in God’s hand a dove

and good lies in bad

when the worse fills our hope

are you ready to die?

are you ready to cope?

without knowing how

you can never succeed

so release your birds

so your clouds can bleed
