A little spark
By
Alfredo Castillo
I promised
to not relapse,
but,
sometimes
you have to
feel something:
a little spark
that saturates
every corner
and
scares away
those little angels that
come out to play
in the dark.
To understand
the complexity
of the flesh,
to feel,
what courses through my
veins,
is corroded copper
and not the dreams of
luminous crystals I yearned for.
Sometimes,
all I need
is a little spark
to awaken the anxiety
of why
I should not relapse.
