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
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
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.
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.
