Shadow Box


Photography taken by Madelaine Bustamante

I’d like to record everything that you say.
To be able to keep with me
Every single word you say to me
And display them in a shadow box.


I’d like to save your jokes,
Your laughs,
Yours complains,
Your dreams,
Your fantasies,
Your hopes.


I’d love to keep everything safe,
Because I don’t trust my memory,
Because time colors stuff differently,
Because I want to keep you
In your purest state.


But since my humanity lacks the abilities
That your angelic self holds,
I will just pray for the divinity
To have mercy on me
And allow my soul to carry with it…
In this and all my lives,
The richness of your love.
