CIRCUMSTANCIAL PREMISES

A NEW ROMANTIC

MOVEMENT HAS EMERGED

In front of the mirror I look at myself absorbed

      And think in a low voice:

If you were here...

I could touch the air.

If you were here...

I could taste the colors.

If you were here...

I could caress my evilness.

In front of the mirror I look at myself in panic

                         and I cry, and

                    I think in a low voice:

As you are not here...

I will write down stories of tenderness on a dark paper.

As you are not here...

I will put words to that which has no name.

As you are not here...

romanticism will be born between materialism.

In front of the mirror I look at myself

                       Passionately.

               And I think whispering:

I’m an idealist...

            a terrorist of misery...

                        a pirate of love.
