Human Tucks
To stroke the grass as if it were
The fur of a dormant animal
Wild as the earth is
To feel its sweat
Earth’s endless work
To bear with us
As we suck its body
Not yet angry enough
To spit its waters
Not yet angry enough
To shake its back
And blow its flames.
Not yet.



Thought 
I'm eating grapes
and reading books
In the heat of the summer.
Waiting for the autumn,
When grapes turn into wine
Books into thoughts,
This time into longing.



***
There comes a time
When clothes seem older
Than you are.
Some clothes wear days
You may not wish remember.
That’s why women hate ironing
Their own clothes.
They’d rather flat somebody else’s past.
That’s why women keep buying new clothes,
A continuous celebration of the future.


Future in the Past
She left nothing behind.
Only a future
Wrapped like a gift
Which he had forgotten
To open.




Walls

When a wall falls
Another one will appear
For it’s got to be two worlds
For its got to be fear
For it’s got to be unrest.

No one talks about it
But everyone knows 
it’s growing there
Somewhere
Despite drones
Despite clones
Despite virtual minds
There is always
A guy who's
 insane enough
with the will
And the power
To invisibly erect a wall.

Building walls 
is a highly mastered technique
Of the invisible people
Using materials which one cannot see.
Once done
Lucidity falls on every human mind
People on both sides
Can stare at it and wonder.

But then little can be done
The wall cannot be undone
Before another invisible wall
Starts to be planned and weaved.



Seasons
God created summer
for people to wander and meet.
And winter for people to think,
And to sit.
As for the other two,
They were meant for fussy people
To take their time
And get ready for whatever is
Next.
