I died the second death

The Tale
Once upon a time he took me by the hand
to show me the shadows.
He was old
and the earth was hardly spinning
around him.
He blessed the blonde sirens
that float in my sentimental aquarium.
He showed me the big-bellied gnomes,
greedy after their green sheets.
He warned me to stay off a tree
with masks hanged on it`s branches.
He promised me: the animals are more beautiful in the chase
then in their golden cages.

Since that eve he plays chess on the stars board.

Since that evening I bury my beloved ones
in my heart, without the sedative called agony,
beyond the colossal glaciers.
Since that time it hunts me the light of a black sun.
"Beware the masquerade!"he repeated,
with his eye balls injected with black and white rhombs.
Now, I don`t know anymore in what cage I trapped myself
and in which moment the chess board covered me.I`m lost
in another tale, but I remember
that once he took me by the hand
to show me
the shadows…

I
did not returned.
