“Me, a greyhound”
Here I am,
sectioned.
From the misunderstanding
I observe in silence.
As if it were a stone,
Oh! my to the ignored soul.
A tear roll
from my sad look.
What do you see when you look at me!
What do you think when you hit me!
What do you feel…! when…
my body shrinks, it screams.
When I fade away,
I run out of breath and strength.
Am I not good with you?
Don’t I leave my feet on the ground?
Don’t I leave my heart in the race?
I’m doing it for you! Can’t you see it?
Just For You
I’m back wit the dam.
My mind is screaming out to you…
I’m out here !
My bones hurt,
spent my whole body out.
For you and only you!
Do you think I’m on your side
for the times you spoil me?
For the times you bathe me?
Because of your shit food?
Because of the way they eat me…
worms and fleas ?
I wish!
Someday,
you would have soothed my itches with water.
I wish!
Someday,
you would have given me a caress,
a gentle phrase, with tenderness…
relieve so, my sorrow, my soul.
It doesn’t matter,
if my body dries in one afternoon
of cold rain.
Or if I sleep on a rock.
If my ear hurts or a toothache.
You tip me a kick.
Of course yes… that you give me.
I’m already sure.
Are you happy ?
I lie down, I stare at you.
Are you even empty?
Are you even that blind?
Or you lack the sense !
And I don’t yell at you because…
I don’t have the gift of the word.
And I don’t bite you because…
it’s not coming with me.
Oh my heart and body aches!
What a pity! You don’t see anything!
Nor my nobility and elegance.
What a pity! I feel sorry for you because…
you value nothing.
I’ll be gone. Yea I’ll be out !!!
But you’re staying here.
Without having learned to live,
nor to enjoy me.
