And the world keeps falling

Νormal people with a plume and a brindled tail
2014

translated by Patricia Felisa Barbeito

And the world keeps falling
Down to its knees
Kowtowing to
The hollow men
Who, drowned in the champagne of wet dreams,
Now fiercely hurl themselves
Through the rim of the glass
Firing
Foam bullets
At the vanity of a vacuous life
Lived
In an empty shell
