DEATH

DEATH
will it be that a dead enjoys himself
while liquefying
putrid
in the tomb's darkness
until the clean bones indicate
that a body existed there
millennia before?

through DNA the archeologist finds the skeleton's origins and lifetime
but of the soul there is no trace
nor throne where to rest beside god
where is it?

at least if she had been incinerated
we would be aware that the soul doesn't stink
not even as a burnt smell

///

MORTE

será que um morto se diverte
enquanto se liquefaz
pútrido
na escuridão da tumba
até que os ossos limpos indiciem
que ali existiu um corpo
milénios antes?

o arqueólogo pelo ADN descobre a origem e o tempo de vida do esqueleto
mas da alma não há indícios
nem trono para o seu descanso ao lado de deus
onde está?

se ao menos tivesse sido incinerada
ficaríamos a saber que a alma não cheira mal
nem sequer a queimado
