Apoetical

Por Germano Xavier

I cry for the pain
of a poem
not felt
not read
because all poems hurt
with their invisible weapons
because poems
when not drunk
when not swallowed
when not completely held
they are like open wounds
infectious
miserable
I cry for the pain
of a poem
each one that rises
each one that lies not born
deep in a man
that walks
through not touchable limits
I cry for the pain
of a poem
and mostly
I cry
plenty
for the pain of a man
with no poetry in the hands
