Deceiver

Not even I
am sure who I am,

Not Aphrodite
not even
Zeus,
Not Hades,
not Artemis,
or Silvanus,
Not Chione
and not even Satan
really knows.

The stars don’t know
nor does this unconscious universe.
The summers of my youth
and the freezing winters
I spent in country forests
don’t know either.
If they really knew
they would be
here
by my side.

My redemptions
and moments of shame
won’t ever know.
My soul
is a ghost.

Not Elohim,
not God,
Not Allah,
and not Socrates
can know
who I really am.
They all don’t
know
and
neither, apparently,
do
You.
