Well
Sometimes you sink
you fall into your well of silence,
in your abyss of proud anger,
and you can hardly go back,
still with shreds of what you found
in the depth of your existence.
My love, what do you find in your closed well?
algae, bogs, rocks?
what do you see with blind eyes, rancorous and wounded?
my life, you will not find in the well in which you fall
what I keep for you in the height:
a bouquet of dewy jasmine,
a kiss deeper than your abyss.
Do not fear me, do not fall into your grudge again.
shake my word that came to hurt you
and let her fly through the open window.
she will hurt me again without you directing her
since she was loaded with a hard instant
and that instant will be disarmed in my chest.
Smile radiantly at me if my mouth hurts you.
i'm not a sweet shepherd like in fairy tales,
but a good woodcutter who shares with you
earth, wind and thorns of the mountains.
Love me, smile at me, help me to be good.
don't hurt me, it will be useless,
don't hurt me because you hurt yourself.
