REBEL – CHAPTER I – TEAR – ENGLISH

REBEL – CHAPTER I – TEAR – ENGLISH - RAFAEL LUDICANTI

 

1.

 

Your favorite place

is to be with me.

 

To live and rest

without glory.

 

Let's make a pact

not to remember the sunset.

 

Look at me and

understand that

I have always

loved you.

 

2.

 

The world we both

know is the

mystery of

the world.

 

But there

are things

that only

the two of us know.

 

3.

 

Dirty hands

purified by

the crystalline

waters of crime.

 

I was looking at

the landscape

and, in order not

to think about your

silent modesty,

I had the idea of

laughing and

claiming ownership

of the square meter

of sidewalk

where I

lived.

 

4.

 

It's better to start

with the worst

leaving the accidents

to those who are

unprepared

for the good times.

 

Drowned in the depths

of great sea distances,

the common

hatred for

ourselves

can be shared.

 

5.

 

Revenge! Revenge!

 

I want to lose again!

 

Don't give me that

sweet dominatrix look.

 

I'm nothing but ignorant!

 

Drop that damn

bomb right

now.

 

6.

 

Commissioner!

 

Someone appears

at the door!

 

What difference does it make...

 

If your profile

is nice,

go on

and make

faces of displeasure.

 

7.

 

We are all too perfect,

far beyond what

our personality

reveals.

 

Admired closely,

under the light

of a chandelier,

we are a

translucent

incandescent object.

 

8.

 

It is convenient that,

in intimacy,

secrets become

charms.

 

So that,

lying in bed,

I can invoque

sanctity

by tearing up

a hundred dollar bills.

 

9.

 

I am like this

because

I was made

like this,

I don't understand

but I realize

my existence,

as a reality that

does not depend

on any opinion.

 

I want to do

things that have

deep value

even if they

don't have

any

meaning.

 

10.

 

If it hurt others,

it's no longer a matter

of ideology.

 

The common good

changes with

the tides of the mood.

 

I open my arms

to embrace the world

and discover

the awareness of

nothingness.

 

 

11.

 

If I stayed quiet

long enough

to decipher the truth,

I would have to

end the world.

 

I recognize how

pleasant

an urgente

recommendation

can be

when

disobeyed.

 

12.

 

I can't turn a

sunflower into a

work of art.

 

But I think my desire

for immortality

will be what

people think

of me in the future.

 

13.

 

As childish

as I am now.

 

I'll have my head

on the iron

rails.

 

Of an extinct

generation's

yearnings.
