Eternidad

Eternidad

MY CHOICE

I want my body in ice
Where it’ll survive harshness

In a bed of cold liquid
It will last

Up to the end of time
Enshrouded in freshness

Far from cremation
And the tomb

There is no heaven
Hell stays a legend

The future for me
Lies in the frost

While others decompose
Becoming bones

Turning into dust
Back to the earth

Time will tell
Whether I’ll survive

Cocooned in ice
Marooned in age

LAURIE 1235

Laurie 1235 is a robot
Who flies through the stars
In his dark matter rocket

As he cruises around a galaxy
Of carbon based life
And orange suns

He goes past solar systems
Collecting stardust
And silica

To analyse in a lab
At the back of his ship
Laurie 1235

Believes in a God
Called man
Who sent him

In this rocket
Long ago
When the universe was young

And the galaxy full of hot suns
Now Laurie 1235
Lives alone

Studying the dust
Avoiding meteors
And longing for company

THE RIVER OF TIME

As I swim along the river of time
It carries me softly
Lifting me up

Bringing me pleasure
While erasing
My vicissitudes

It takes me along its waves
Cradling me in its arms
Providing comfort

Along the hard ride
Of my existence
At the rhythm of music

Of my heart
And keeping pace
With my emotions

A piece of painted wood
That’s what you are

Loved by millions
On this earth

Your hands and legs
Are painted pink

While your head has
A crown of needles

Made in Japan
With nails imported from China

Another plank of wood
Covers your waist

As tears of holy water
Run down your cheeks
