Cobena

How I miss
walking through the streets
of Cobena

smelling the sheep
and the dust
from the roads

getting lost amongst
the labyrinth
of tiny streets

vividly painted
fence posts and metal
playgrounds

so much for
my eyes
to feast on

so much to
keep safely locked
in my memory

yes, the earth
is far too large
for a small budget

Lies

I hate you
I am completely whole and perfect
I understand all I hear
I never feel small or alone
I love to be forgotten
I always take care of myself
I always indulge in beautiful things
I never fear evil
and I never lie

I am the magical blue whale

I am the magical blue whale
I don't eat small krill
I eat dreams and wishes
I don't wear leathery skin
I wear hope forgotten
and left floating
I don't fear anything
for I am bigger
than everything
But there is no need
to fear me
Ask me for a ride
and float through
your old hopes
upon your dreams and wishes
I am the magical blue whale
