Escape.
Pilgrim you leave my beach
And on this dying of waves
you make shreds of delirium
And in the midst of darkness
The presence of the abyss
Pick up pieces of anguish
And without doors or windows
On waves of small deaths
I am assailed by a geography of tears
It is my absence in your chest
Penitent escaping threads of catastrophe.
