Without return
(previously Volver)

God does not exist,
hence,
the Devil does not either.
Demons do –
like lightning
they enter your very persona,
without knocking,
you do not hear them
but they take possession
of the mind,
they bear memories
both yours and hers,
nothing eludes them,
they taste of life,
death, pain, joy,
and more besides – everything.
After all,
they are your offspring,
generated by you –
such is the outcome
when you are thoughtless
and you leave something
too important.
