FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

reality is always
reality

sometimes to beautify it
(most of the time it is
uglier than what we color it
to be)

we build a system in our mind
and make categories like
an index of a book

or a table of contents
where
we can skip the chapters
that we hate
the pages which we think
we have mastered
the cover which had already
turned too dusty
because
we did not mind it
it was left in one of those
shelves
where cobwebs
begin to weave stories of
their own

reality is real.
if we do not mind it well,
it can be vindictive at times
in the palaces of our
illusions
it cannot be found anymore.
