Strange events

they became everyday banalities

dreams can change lives

in a relentless manner

as simple as reality

which can change at any time

in a nightmare

it has been here with me

as it has been with so many others

do not try to remember

what I look like it told me

I did not try to remember

what it looked like

I cannot describe it with words

even if I compared it

to the flame of a candle

I remember this event

when on the seashore

I see a ship at sea

sinking

and which instead of a mast has

a candle with a flame

I have seen once

surreal poetry
