To be born again,
imagine the world once more,
make different mistakes,
believe in different stakes.

Create stories
that will survive
this life
and the next.

Face the gods and laugh
in their faces,
see them laugh back.

Make amends with my devil,
he also needs a break.

I want to tell my kids about this life,
make them believe it’s possible
to grasp and change

to be present more than once,
not when life demands it

to dream while awake,
forget the unforgettable,
drink sweet wine without regret,

and die when the light is dim
but not dark,

so I can experience it all
