The World is an Infinite Black Mattress


The world is an infinite black mattress on which small gray beings jump occasionally God angry calm down you are going to destroy the springs! and for some time the small gray stains keep quiet like naughty scared kids until God enters the other room



A Bed of Books


It’s comfortable like cresset for incense

until everything is burnt there is no luck

there is no smell there is no sacred curiosity

the past is always naive like yellowing photography of missed good intentions the present never harder time just to survive to the first future until the first turn into a dream

in this bed we cover ourselves with soft covers we embrace the pillow in which pleated naughty stories rustle
