slow, saving and final

 
and when you think you've seen the worst
the most terrible slap will strike your course
since who apparently waits by the doorway 

staring at the stars
is only waiting to see your face slide down

 to the fragile side 
the cruel one, 
so to knock you down helpless to the ground 
and to steal from you a thin breath 
a faint sigh

this is the real horror of our small 

and precarious times by these peripheries of the world
and so you better close your eyes for a moment
you better save this human and sacred 

distortion of space and time that we all are
since that slap will flow away
as muddy water of a raging river in flood
 and our humble heart will resist all odds
and at the end will save us all
