Gleams
I.Crowd A hand is stretched A tiny little bunch… Flowers’ stems are warm For someone gripped them long I take it silently Without a Thank you
|
II.They’ve clipped a wing of mine And lured me with sky See, I’m flying already Proud and content But why am I flying in circles Why…
|
III.Crowd A hand with knife is stretched: ‘Grab it! And stab it In the first back That comes across!’ I turn around And go away… With stillness in my eyes
|
IV.A call And date A cup of coffee Conversation ‘What about another drink?’ Bed… And everything is all the same… Emptiness inside It rings again… Don’t answer!
|
V.Crowd Above it – Cross And someone on the Cross We all throw stones on him In silence… I come back home Holes in my hands From old, bloody, rusty nails… Whole Eternity
|
VI.Crowd Frantic cries of Fallen bodies. We walk on soft ground Feeling taller From the layers Of Creatures underneath.
|
VII.Crowd With little sparkles In our hands We stand along each other Burst of flame – Someone flies away. Increasingly insistent We fan the glow In our hands. Some join hands and Fly on the wings of a joint fire Others Burn out, Quietly spent.
|
VIII.Wall Draw a door. Believe. Open it and Go through To the other side.
|
IX.Masks. Wait in line To buy them. Go home, Hang them in the Wardrobe and Run to wait in New lines.
|
X.Roundabout There is always Somebody Going in and out. Always Somebody is Going round. Sometimes it’s nice to Have your head Spinning.
|
XI.Crawling Mortally wounded eagle. Wind Little snail is Swept away by the Tempestuous Impulse.
|
XII.Piano Black and white Kaleidoscope of Sounds. We bare our hands – Not hiding anything. Our fingers.
|
XIII.River Frightfully deep. We let the horses. Just to try. After that We cross. But On the other side the First to reach were They. |
XIV.empty page |
XV.Door We lock it. Lose the key. Draw a wall. Hit our heads Against it. |
XVI.Hitchhike 1/3 of them are Showing us the finger. 1/3 are thinking of Showing us the finger. 1/3 stop and politely explain Their way is different. Let’s wait For the next car. |
XVII.Hitchhike Nice car. Important man. Expensive perfume. Posh music. Significant theories. Nice, random conversation. What a bad stroke of luck! |
|
|
XVIII.Hitchhike Meeting strangers? Adventures? Silent drivers? We leave them, One by one Behind us. Very careful Not to forget Anything in their cars. Looking for the road. Mainly. And Indirectly, For ourselves. |
