Pray

I want to pray with my own words

To forget who I was

Who I became

I come and I go away so suddenly

Only my voice is left to hear

In moments like this one, I feel lost

And then again, I catch myself at the edge of an end

I often speak about myself

For hands that hide my face

Veins reflected on my white skin

My breath, finishing before yours is taken in

I haven’t been born yet

It only takes me to close my eyes,

And I become a trace again

A trace without shape

Stuck deep inside my womb

In the place where I feel, I only truly exist

You only need to be hanged in order to live

To bend in order to see

To face the white

I open my eyes

For the light to be caught

And rupture all my corners

To return on the raft of my adolescent dreams

When everything seemed easy

I float upon thick clouds

I only need to open my eyes,

And I become you again—

The whole world, in a little breath.
