The Exchange

In the loneliness of a whisper

Bad luck

to meet a human specimen

escaped from the darkness of a fractured mind

the toad

came out of the swamp of a genetic incident

he breaks his neck when he looks at me

he doesn't break his mind because he doesn't have it

he has only one wish

to tattoo my name on his chest

restlessness

is notching a lost sigh

in the loneliness of a whisper

I am a wild prisoner

hanging

like a legend

I still have my luck left

which I am keeping hidden

in an abandoned place

with my look in the desert

and my voice returned from its way

I accept to

exchange prisoners
