| My call wanders around your ears, O You beautiful Whore... Cleanse your ears after every summons To the chamber of the devil’s mistresses. Have you forgotten kissing my dick , Which discharged bullets into you Bullets you were forced to expel With a cursed pill swallowed without water. I still see your beauty etched Within my cold diaries, Despite your absence from the arena Where we drank our hot, black blood. I still embrace every letter you wrote While you sipped the bottle of wine I sent to you, With a card bearing the hairs of my loins— How you loved to pluck them With your hands fallen from the mountain of sin. How you adored shopping in the demons' market. I remembered your dead gift Sent to me in autumn— Your intimate, perennial season. You sent me a wolf's claw, Sharp as the Day of Reckoning. You told me, in a merciful card: "If you wish to end your life, Use my wretched gift." How I loved you, you brilliant whore. You are the only woman Who weaves from the threads of my essence A cloak to warm me against the clumsy, frozen nights. How many times? Only the ghost knows— The one who cleanses my filth. It crossed my mind To sever your little finger And fashion from it a necklace That shall not leave me until the day I die. I finished a bottle of whiskey And found myself reading your aphorisms, Written when your menstrual cycle first came— Sayings that copulate with the ghosts of passion, Bleeding a crimson blood Visible even to the colorblind. There, You found your obscene love For the path of riding horses... But you preferred my stallion. You said my horse Possesses seven hearts; Every night, one of them Dies After our eternal lovemaking. But I have one final request Before my last remaining heart expires Stab me seven burning times With the knife I gifted you— The one meant to sever your breasts if ever you left me. Then, cast me to the stray dogs; Your love has left me broke, And I have nothing left to give them but myself |
