Novocain

Beauty
Like a needle
Pricks its pictures in ruby blood

You'd wonder
How
More than half of this world
Die without knowing
The pain
       The love
             The beauty
That life
Drips endlessly
Like a leaky tap
On our crowded days.

A world
On a megadose
Of Novocain

Numb.

Endlessly

Between the storm of desire
And the calm abyss of renunciation
My boat rocks endlessly
