This capacity
of staring
with fascination
at the spectacle
of the dissolving
effervescent tablets
in the glass
should never
be missssss

Don't you...
Not my drawers
Not my drawers
Please, don't...
Not this little trunk
Not this little trunk
Don't you...
Not this message in the bottle
Not this message in the bottle
Please, don't...
Don't you...

Will you?

the young guy
at the traffic light
begging for money
at midnight

distressed eyes
hand stretched
'I do no harm'
he apologized

I know,
I replied
handing in
some change,
I cried

safe home
tough night
he does not know  
he did me much harm

the young guy
at the traffic light
afflicted eyes
at midnight

Forty days
to get rid
of a habit
People say

Missing you
is that kind of habit
no 40 years
could ever fix

Such a perpetrated habit
many times a day
puts my toothbrush
daily to shame

Forty years?
The kind 'you don't say'
graceful habit!

Hung by two thin lines
on        two      extremes

Me                           You

The imperative balance
The     eternal        tense
West                        East

What triggers a poem?

a sun
a moon
a star
a rose
a someone.

What if a huge cockroach?
long antennae
polished wings
threatening presence
crosses the room?

The poem (re)acts
because
a sun
a moon
a star
a rose
a someone
a cockroach.
