there's no way to please us
entirely
if i give myself until i forget
i make myself unhappy
if i care about me,
i'm selfish
there's no way to please us
entirely
my soul cannot be shared
with god and the devil
and i just want to strip
in words
as if i were seducing diego
like frida
be both — recipient and sender
cut the string i used
to tie my own hand
write the night
like the day
for as long as i need
until i feel emptied
but how to escape from
these thunderous whispers?
where does silence hides?
if loving is submitting
to prejudice
your own and of others
and there's no way to please
never entirely
