Unfinished

It happened in the past

It happened today

It will happen tomorrow

 

Every moment now is calm

And boring

No wolf is coming

 

There are the murders every day

But I know

My heart is indifferent

Because Sherlock Holmes is not coming

 

It happened

What happened?

 

I’ll try to gaze each moment

I’ll  be exciting

Like the first night the stars fell

 

I\'ll breathe

Deeply, deeply

Exhale as much as possible

And then, naturally inhale to the fullest

Breath fills all of my body

Giving me the strength

To stand up

To walk

 

Every moment now is blessed

And consecrated

By arctic fire

Like the execution of Jeanne d\'Arc.

 

God bless

Like the tears of a vanished city
