THE SALE

I will whip my body
until tired
Getting to vomit the soul
From its insides.

I will take
and I will pledge my soul
to the bidder of my life
to which I will deliver the beautiful
teachings of my days.

I will send my spirit
in Bedouin caravans
captured between bars
way to the boards
of the auctioned.

I will swell with joy
when my soul
be valued
with the best
offers..
