Under The Banana Tree

under the banana tree
juan
waited for the
magic pebble
to fall
for him to swallow
on the belief
that
he will turn
into
an invisible
juan

the whole
night
he dreamt
that the
magic pebble
landed
on his mouth
wide open

by an unknown
spell
juan
turned into
a banana
tree

and all
the neighbors
his parents
mourned
for him

at least
one thing
sure
happened
he floated
turned
himself
an
invisible
juan
and he
looks
at all of
them

somewhere
from the
top

they call
it
heaven
