CUERPO MUNDO > MUTATION POEMS

::fourth mutation::

i enter the water
the waves rock
what was left of
my shipwreck

outside i drown

inside i breathe

immersed in the ocean
i vomit the air
i swallowed
when i got out

here
in its belly
everything is seen clearly
deep darkness
is of overwhelming transparency

this body i inhabited
has decomposed
now it is part of the salt
the plankton

and of the void

within me
resonates
the song of the
cetaceans
calling their young
and their partners

tiny
microscopic
i get into their stomachs
slipping through their baleen
sailing across their immense jaws

i take now
a new form

i become flesh
once more

flesh
of another
flesh
