The Garden of Oblivion

[Marcus Nalgaber]

The Garden of Oblivion

 

 

Suddenly I realized
that I am like a statue
lost between the walls 
of the garden of oblivion

I am immobile
I am insensible

I can only watch watch watch

with a quiet smile
carved by time 
on my lips 
of marble

I am immobile
I am insensible

I can't move my hands
nor my feet
nor open my mouth 
to say living words 
with a warm breath 
and a wet tongue

I am immobile
I am insensible

If you look for me  
but you don't see me
look into my eyes
that are now white wells

maybe you'll find the garden 
and that statue 
waiting there for you

jump naked 
into that water of stone

nothing bad can happen

hug me desperately
as if you care
break the spell that has me trapped
with the hammer of your passion
