WAITING TO LAND

Esas Maquinas Tortuosas del Apocalipsis by Benjamín Cruz

To make sense of it all
I created a story
And because it was a story
It was true
And because it was true
It was a lie.
How quickly has my life
Become another lifetime,
The mirrors so I could
Perceive myself
Now portraits
Of imaginary kings.
