clouds of lilac blossom
thick in the blue air.
day unwraps in slow
whispers and the wind
is more lonely than am i.
the sky is a broken
vase, little
pathways of the sun,
her strange loads,
her happy voice.
the lilacs were our love song
may swept into our hair and eyes
little pieces of me scattering
like breaking waves.
dipped in the magical ink
of flowers
the garden cries
for its wilderness
its withering of sky
its blossoming of twig
until you can’t see the sky
and it becomes softly an impression,
a fine mist of golds.
no song now,
only the death of the
wind and a new road
that winds from the silver distances
of the moon.
only a harbour where i
rest for a while, a little
boat bobbing where the waves lap,
waiting for you...
