Another Dimension
Without Mercy
Between electric gloom,
angels and demons dressed in plastic blue
have dragged me through the darkness,
to the infinite black stone,
where the origin and the end of time are lost.
There, in the immense dark solitude,
and in the imposed silence of word and thought,
She, in my breath, gazed at me
with her eyes of fire,
frosty and timeless,
without any mercy,
without any mercy.
