passar de tot

passar de tot

l’amor
ho fa malbé tot;
fa malbé el sexe,
destrossa l’enteniment
i esblama el color de la pell.
fa dels ulls un moble
i del llit un altre moble
-ara una vegada rere una altra.
l’amor mata el flirteig,
mata el xarampió
i mata la mirada distreta
i redreça la moral
cap a inclinacions desconegudes.

l’amor
ho fa malbé tot;
enrogalla la veu,
desfà els plans i les vistes panoràmiques
i omple el cafè de grumolls
i de nervis desbocats les venes.
l’amor encalma a mar i els paisatges més dòcils,
deixa plans els peus plans
i plana la verga més fera.

l’amor
ho fa malbé tot:
et cobreix els ulls
i entre cortines i persianes
m’oblido de mi mateix,
els rius continuen sent els rius
i jo ja no sé què fer.
