Today I had to forge
a new smile.
I met a lonely stranger
who's aura was rectangular and bright
and I felt sad and heavy.

Today I counted the many rings
of the rigged chains
inside my bones...
...cried in despair when tought of your kiss,
a kiss full of light, luminescence,
power,
grown long ago.

Maybe I will have to lose so many things
like an Iron Fist
and an Eagle Feather
and a Great Pianist
and a Xiaolin Priest
and a Lonely Ranger...

...lose the dreams of greatness
and smash my fist against the ice.
Break the icicles that numb the trendils
in which my heart has been confined.

Breath slower,
dig deeper,
burn my nails into sand-like ice:
remember the existence of light
when I glide among darkness
and shut down the despair in it's origins
and rescue the child that was forgotten
and has a blurred view for eyes.

Caress the flower
and let the green light fill me...
hand by hand...
time into time.

Smell the piano and it's notes
that carry a universe in each one...
miss the chance to sneeze and freeze it...
join the dance in one more try.
