Collateral Damages

In the middle of nowhere

I can watch the theater show

in two different ways

from the spectator's chair

or from the stage

I must then unite these perspectives

in a triangle

which will have three sides of course

past present and future

then I will be justified

to wear that triangle around my neck

like a locket

for the rest of my life

he has taken a chisel

and carved with it

the casing of a tree

a hollow remained

hanging in the air

then he carved

the casing of an ocean

the abysm remained

hanging from the sky

he then carved

the casing of a mountain

a cave painting

picturing him

in the middle of nowhere

and that was it

surreal poetry
