PREMIÈRE

two women

in one spot

waking up after a night of sleep

where to practice it

fantasizing

demonstrating it

and the not so simple existence

floats for a moment on the surface of nothingness

two women

who meet each other

and let each other sound and collide

in their story ponds

of the amniotic fluid that gave birth to them

where the wrinkles

caused by the vibrations of life

everyone who enters their place

seems to want to wake you up for a moment

two women

who want to shake shake shake

with you and with yourself

by vomiting vomiting vomiting

until the place overflows

and the roof over all heads softens

so that it collapses

and no one yet knows where the body wants to float to

so that all the souls who lie in wait for them

become one

and venture calmly

to dive into the foolish
