Solidão

É exactamente porque não há solidão que dizes que há solidão. Imagina que eras o único homem no universo. Imagina que nascias de uma árvore, ou antes, porque eu quero pôr a hipótese de que não há árvores, nem astros, nem nada com que te confrontes: supõe que o universo é só o vazio e que tu nascias no meio desse vazio, sem nada para te confrontares. Como dizeres «eu estou sozinho»? Para pensares em «eu» e em «sozinho» tinhas de pensar em «tu» e em «companhia». Só há solidão «porque» vivemos com os outros...

Schism

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them fall away mildewed and smoldering, fundamental differing, pure intention juxtaposed will set two lovers souls in motion disintegrating as it goes testing our communication the light that fueled our fire then has burned a hole between us so we cannot see to reach an end crippling our communication.

I know the pieces fit cuz I watched them tumble down no fault, none to blame it doesn't mean I don't desire to point the finger, blame the other, watch the temple topple over. To bring the pieces back together, rediscover communication.

The poetry that comes from the squaring off between, And the circling is worth it. Finding beauty in the dissonance.

There was a time that the pieces fit, but I watched them fall away.

Mildewed and smoldering, strangled by our coveting I've done the the math enough to know the dangers of a second guessing Doomed to crumble unless we grow, and strengthen our communication.

Cold silence has a tendency to atrophy any sense of compassion.

between supposed lovers between supposed brothers.

I know the pieces fit!
