\u201cearth or burn your bridges carefully\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n


Burn
your bridges carefully:
Do it
the way you\u2019d burn yourself.
Catch ashes with your tongue
the same way you\u2019d catch
snowflakes.
Understand: that everything
you didn\u2019t catch
will become part of the earth.
And the earth,
in turn,
will continue to live,
like you’ve never lived before.
Or lived?
Grieved?
In a black and white dream you flew
and
fed some geese
with the non-bread.
And then
you remembered:
Your own mother
And her breasts
How she fed you (as a baby)
And tucked you to sleep.
But then
you forgot everything:
You did it the way others only dream of
forgetting their mistakes.
And now,
our dreams and [those] mistakes
mixed with ashes and earth
with milk and tears
and blood with drugs
and cum and snow
and\u2026
And then what?
Oh,
<\/strong>and then
I think
that:
Only bridges will remain,
rivers will dry out
under them<\/p>\n\n\n\n
