A dog and a sailor,
The wind is
blowing,
The sailor is old
and the waves are strong
The dog is black
as the night and he is looking the stars.
In the port there
are few lights and no words,
Just the noise of
the waves crushing on the wall.
The sailor is old
and he wants to die,
to dog is hungry
and he wants to eat,
both they want
something that they can't have.
The first because
he is afraid
The second
because he is waiting for the old man to die.
They are friends,
good friends, but they have a pact
when the old man
will die the dog could eat all the food in his house,
but until the
moment the dog needs to be there next to him to made him less lonely.
They never speak
with each other; they stay all day long looking the sea,
the old man is
waiting his wife to come back, but she will never do it.
She left him 10
years ago, she left to see the deepest ocean, and from that day the old sailor
wants to die.
The dog he was
alone from the first moment of his life until now,
in that small city
where there is just a small port and an old sailor the loneliness is your best
friend.
However the sea is
over there and it is so big, however wave after wave it will never stops.
The sailor could
go there in the middle of the ocean without problem; he can read the wind and
speak with the clouds, but he doesn't know how to die alone.
The dog could find
other food in this small city but he is tired to be alone, and the sailor was
always nice with him. He is hungry as always in his life, but for
the first time he has someone.
Day after day,
waves and clouds are passing by.
Day after day they
become more weak, the dog is always more hungry and the sailor more afraid to
live alone.
One night the moon
was full and the sky clean and the sailor decided to go with his creepy and old
boat. Like every year he brings some flower to the ocean, for his wife, because
she always loved flowers and he hopes that they will reach her.
There in the
bottom of the ocean where there is not light and no flower.
The dog was with
him in that night,
the ocean was flat
and the air was light and fresh.
The small boat was
flowing slowly in that dark oil, called ocean.
No lights no
noise, just the moon.
And when the
sailor was there, with the flowers in his hands that he watched himself,
An old sailor,
long white bear, sad green eyes and no smile.
He realized then
that he was already died 10 years ago, and now he was just surviving for
nothing.
He closed his hand
on the flowers, this time he would brought with him, one tear and the he jumped.
For a moment there
was a hole in the sea and a scream in the sky, was just a moment and then the
sea became flat again.
The dog now he was
looking outside the boat, but he could not see any man, just some flowers on
that dark flat lake.
The dog was alone
again, he had the food in the boat, but no one.
So rapidly he went
inside and he took some meat, he put in his mouth as much as he could.
Then he looked for
the last the time the moon, and he jumped as well.
Another hole in
the ocean, another scream in the sky.
The dog thought
that there, in the deepest ocean, would not have found some good food.
