REPUGNANCE
Repugnance, you are the explosion of hysterical desolation
You transfigure faces when tears burst –
Death on the street –
Like a tank that pierces life
Which ingeniously recalls the eternal in the sign of peace,
But you are as accustomed to horror as mounds are to ashes –
Like the false ceiling’s to stars
Like the underpass’re accustomed to road –
And take the distance, but not the destination
From the murderous stain, from the cross and the flag
That bleeds for the concession of a merciless world
Unconscious,
You get angry, but you don’t demand,
You leave a flower rather than a beating heart
Until every corner burns.
