BONES TIME
TAKE CARE
IT'S NOT A STORY NOR A LEGEND
MAYBE A POEM
-1-
ON THE DAY OF OUR BELOVED ONES
MANY QUESTIONS
LIKE WOUNDS
WHAT IT MEANS...?
HANDS ARE VERY IMPORTANT
TO RISE UP AND THREATEN
TO GIVE AND CARESS
SUDDEN MAGIC HEADS
SITTING DOWN
WITH CARE
PLEASE FORGIVE ME
I LOOSE MYSELF TOWARDS AN ABSURD LIGHT
Succulent Marmalades

A NECKLACE OF CIRCULAR MORNINGS
PRE-FIXED BOMBS
CAMPFIRE TORTOISES
A NECKLACE OF BRAZEN MORNINGS
HAS PENETRATED MY BONES
AND I ASK MYSELF
AND I ANSWERED
WITHIN A HUMAN RHYTHM
PECKING A SERIOUS "I DON'T KNOW"
THOUSANDS OF SPACE EMBRACES
AND I ANSWERED
FACE TO FACE
IN A BITTER RAY OF DEPLOYED LIGHT
I ANSWERED
THAT MY LIFE IS A DREAM
Face to Face / My Thirst Has Burnt my Fear

-3-
A SMALL STAIRCASE
OF HIDDEN IMAGES
ASCENDING
UP AND UP
WAVES OF SWEET MARMALADES
BREAKING INTO RED SUCCULENT CROWNS
DRIPPING METAPHOR
LAUGHING THE SENSUAL TREMOR OF MY HOPE
IN THE TIME OF BONES
MY THIRST HAS BURNT MY FEAR
Pecking a serious "I Don´t Know" (Mixed media Assemblage sculpture)

Laughing Circular Brazen Mornings (Mixed media Assemblage painting)
