WELCOME TO THE WAR

 

 

WELCOME TO THE WAR

The brilliance of a battalion of fireflies

camped in his gaze

while he counted the mirages

that writhed before dying

between shrapnel and despair

Now that the numbers

were only useful for the countdowns

or to subtract wishes

That his will traveled

on the surface of other rivers

with another's whim

He understood that it was no longer possible

to separate what is necessary

from what is correct

nor to challenge love for survival

Now that the tears

were dying in his heart

and that the terror had refuged

in the trenches of resignation

hoping to anesthetize reality

was that he understood

that at the end of the movie

his name would not appear in the credits

nor would anyone care to remember it
