Long ago we conquered our passions looking at ourselves in the mirror of eternity.
Long ago an uncalled rain fell and a called-upon God stayed equally distant.
One hand I extend into myself, the other toward others.
I travel, always arriving in the same place.
We will go far away, to nowhere, to conquer, to fertilize until we become tired. Then we will stop and there will be our home.
All dust is the same dust.
Temporarily separated
To go peacefully
And enjoy the eternal nap.
Through everything I have passed but nowhere I have been.
And this that you call solitude is in fact a big crowd.
Mathematics doesn’t care about those beyond the numbers.
With me: one minus one = one; with you: it’s zero. Here lies the only difference.
Neither alive nor dead;
No one lets up,
No one wins.
Instead of imitating me, you simply loiter.
