I Couldn't Do It

Damaso

I chew branches,
cut broccoli,
I like the cold
now, a little.

For a while,
it leaves them still.

The sky fell entirely
and they didn't warn us.

Waste of hours.
Cronus goes backward.

I would like to take care of them all.
Impotence
devoured me and spat me out:
useless,
made me understand
that in reality
I crawl,
and crash into everything.

My chest,
split in a desperate scream.
My lungs,
melted.

Was it the end of reason?
I couldn't do it.
