NO ODE TO CUPID (Montevideo, April 9th, 2011)

Oh, Cupid, you
who err with poison-dipped
arrows that hit
not what they seek

I have a handful
clawing at my heart
and they don´t let me
breathe or find true love

If you wanted to see me
underground
you should have sent
a silver bullet
through my eyes

and not this torture
and this false mirage
this bleeding dry
before the gates
of paradise

the biggest arrow
that was dipped
in hydra´s gall
the one that poisons
from the middle
of my heart

that green-eyed monster
that has left his arrow fly
and never looked back
or asked
what my name was

Oh, Cupid, you
you evil dwarf
if I must melt
consumed into his poison
make it fast
