open all the doors! open all the windows!
Open all the doors!
Open all the windows!
Remove the locks from this enclosing life!
Remove this enclosing life from this enclosing life!
Let closing be openness, with no locks as reminders,
Let “stopping” be the ignorant term for continuing,
Let the end be an always abstract thing,
Fluidly connected to every end ever reached.
I want to breathe!
Strip my body of all its weight!
Replace my soul with abstract wings attached to nothing!
No, not wings, just the enormous Wing of Flight itself!
No, not even Flight, just the speed that remains when ceasing
becomes flying.
And there is no body to weigh down the soul of Going!
I want to be the heat of living things, the fever of saps, the rhythm of waves and the…
Gap in being that allows Being to be…!
No boundaries anywhere!
No divisions in anything!
Just Me.
Fernando Pessoa
