I finally found the perfect scenery
For my blog
On the other side of the world:
It was like peace in my hearth.
My steps never actually carried me
Beyond my own clothes –
Accurate expressions of who I badly want to be.
I’ve loved those distant
Uncontaminated lands
But I had to reach them with a big polluting plane.
Nothing at the bottom of my heart
Remained innocent;
Out of discomfort and disorganized dreams
I had to make a living
Out of my clean and vast breath
A melody to carefully arrange.
I somehow managed to remain
A believer
In my folded shadows …
… Rented to the world.
