Sleepy

Don't thank your dreams

until your childhood is over.

Do not trust dreams of freedom,

of love that will never be 

your fault.

Come close, hug my words,

to nameless fantasies.

Frozen tears on your cheeks

are proof of your strength,

your hope.

Let us not wake the night,

let it rest before the morning returns.

Hide in your heart

your last breath, your last gulp

of air that will give you pain

that will flow with your blood.

I longed to learn

your language, but I am too gullible,

too sleepy.
