BECAUSE HERE MEMORIES ARE CONFUSED BEINGS
There's nothing here only pictures//
Pictures// That tell stories on a broken road
Mother said as soon as you die// your identity becomes a body
And we'll live some memories to die.// When my grandfather died, his body became a nightmare/
I swear I do not know how his body melted into Photographs / I do not know how mother's song
became a basin of broken dreams. In one corner of our house a boy stands before a grave, that won't answer his questions// he calls God on phone and searches for answers / In another corner , a boy
searches for muse in rolls of Marijuana . He says : here men will kill a man for kissing a man and call
it Gods word/ I mean : Here boys are taught to hide their tears in shadows/ I do not know the story of
here and there / I do not know where I heard the story of a man chiseling the face of God until he
resembles him. / There is nothing here / only memories that tell stories to boys awake at Night //
Because here memories are confused beings they always get lost in dark places.
