The Dice Player
Who
am I to say to you
what I say to you?
I was not a stone polished by water
and became a face
nor was I a cane punctured by the wind
and became a flute...
I
am a dice player,
Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose
I am like you
or slightly less...
I played no role in who I became If this farm hadn't been
ravaged
Maybe….
I would've turned into an olive or a professor of geography
Or an expert in an ant colony or a guardian of echoes
what I say to you?

Who am I to say to you
what I say to you
at the door of the church
and I am but a throw of a dice
between a predator and a prey
I earned more awareness
not to be happy with my moonlit night
but to witness the massacre
I survived by chance:
I was smaller than a military target
and bigger than a bee wandering among the flowers of the fence
I feared for my siblings and my father
I feared for a time made of glass.
Fear kept up with me and I continued with it
barefooted, forgetting my little memories
of what I wanted from tomorrow -
there is no time for tomorrow -
I walk / haste / run / go up / go down /
I scream / bark / howl / call / wail /
I go faster / slower / fall down / slow down / dry /
I walk / fly / see / do not see / stumble /
I become yellow / green / blue /
I split / break into tears /
I get thirsty / tired / hungry /
I fall down / get up / run / forget /
I see / do not see / remember / hear / comprehend /
I rave / hallucinate / mumble / scream /
I can not /
I groan / become insane / go astray /
I become less / more / fall down / go up / and drop /
I bleed / and I lose consciousness /
