Guess Who?* (II)
My first dive into the ocean
A green sea shallow and frozen full of hot breath and a congenital subordination, happily embraced with a blade. their dark-hole eyes suck me up before dusk to deliver me absorbed and ruminated in the morning. every sweet rabbit running for its life perfectly matched with a buzzard on the sky. this is a land of borders like everywhere else but there is an anarchy of holes under these hills a trembling freedom waiting for the whole landscape to collapse and disappear into itself. i walk with my wet socks and think of this video I bought in Switzerland of a fireplace with a lit fire burning for hours, a good remedy for insomniacs and depressives. but I prefer to watch huge Atlantic waves on TV, whales diving while I sink into my sofa. and I don’t even call the sea, the sea, but silk cover or a bouquet of crystal flowers not that massive grinding water machine.

* "Guess Who" texts are a series of poems which have been written during Crear Workshop, in Scotland. They can be considered as a game among the Wordexpress writers, so that one poet tries to imitate the style, themes and way of thinking of another poet. On the other hand, those poems indicate a significant outcome of poetry translation process (in Crear) during which the writers tried to get into the other's world- and, in fact, a clear sign of that they did it.
