[ENG] OPERA

Poetry

I wrote Opera between the end of 2012 and the beginning of 2013. Maybe you won't like it. Maybe you will find it pointless. For once, that's fine. I wrote Opera for me. Opera is about what I've learnt in this period of my life, it's about the person...

And she asked me
Are you going to stand in the way
of the universe?
What do you feel?
What you feel is ten times more powerful
and important than what you think
so what do you feel?

And I said
I am a tree
with no roots
and no birds

And she said
Drown in the Earth
and accept her goodwill
towards every human being

And I drowned
deeper and deeper
I sank my hands in the dirt
and claws grew
and I discovered pain in howling
and sacredness in proximity
and fierceness in wildness
and kindness in power

and birds came in singing
