Sarastro

Exit stage left (1)

Far away the ballerina has

A placid stage of pure legs

But wounded dances in the dark

City squares without compassion

 

All squares are theaters

Silent of spectrum clapping the pain

Silent of faded stars

 

And she goes sliding sublime

The unloved ones cling to her neck

Went on without sighs or unexpected kisses

In its wake only the shadow of a crime

 

In the chaotic layers of her mind

Hide dark Medusas

Die love of present body

 

And born by invisible wombs

And swallows anonymous semen

Choreographed by her unspeakable own shadow

With milky and marble shoulders

 

She goes in the unprotected row

Where the swords of shadow penetrate her

And the shine like racehorses

Bewitch her

 

Because she has a stage but no dance

Because the music stopped

Because fate has left

Her name in my memory

 

Because her art was misunderstood

Her apotheosis was sold

And she has the delicate hands of disappointment

 

And it is in vain that she rises until Antares

Conquering the heat of pure night

Seeking the light there is in the eyes

 

No fire will sear her heart’s wound

The guilts are eternal and inoperable

In vain will seek the light

That through the cracks invades lovely bodies

 

She will die without music and without applause

No stage lit and no rich joy

Will die under dark sheets

Shards of fluid and shrapnel of tears

Will penetrate the shadows of the secluded days.
