Your head dreams memories,
takes planes that land years before taking off,
walks through streets that suddenly intersect in the middle of silence
or stands before an unknown place
and puts a kept in memory set design on it.

Your head jumps like magicians do
when hiding and then showing up.
Sometimes it gets lost in gaps and breathes
as if smoothly sliding his hands
over dusty traces on the furniture.
Hides its street name and wakes up
in a mall with no name.
Sometimes it makes time narrow
so you can jump to the distant place on life
where ask your mother for
chocolate with almonds again.

Your head is full of mazes,
crossing places and years,
comes out and comes in,
hits a wall or gets into a train or enters a hospital.

Changes the faces facades,
does tricks with letter and photos
letting whole lifetime memories
be felt together, all at once.
