The octopus

(Víctor Lemes)

Beneath the ground,
It lies deep in the dense waters;
It has been there, lost, since last
Evening. The octopus I admire.

Such an octopus, it may be ordinary
For the rest of everybody.
Though, I ain't everybody
As it knows.

What makes this octopus unique,
You wonder. I may state the
Obvious truth of it.

For eight is the number of its
Tentacles. For eight is the years
We are apart; yet, so close.
