Greed
RoDin Jan 2015
everyday i get busy cheating the world.

with coffee, peanuts, clouds and pineapples.

doing so,
i make it believe
i need it
as much as
it needs me.

Turbulence-free
RoDin Oct 2014
Freezing heights.

Sparse...
Thin air...

Gliding
you landed
as a tickling feather
over my
wet runway.

(jiggling)

Whole engine
seen flapping
its wings
cutting clouds
in pieces,
in joy!

customized clouds
RoDin Aug 2014
where did my clouds go?

the sheep-like
the candy-floss-shaped
the cotton-made
the sugar-tasting
the light-footed-type
the cauliflower-silhouette
the joker-carved

the clouds you extra designed for me
a little before
the astronomic warlike mushrooms
erupted?

on and off
RoDin Mar 2014
my love for you,

can not rebel.
can not relax.

it has an eye open.
an eye closed.

you're my beautiful dizzy glowworm.

here... look! it's on!
there... oh no! it's off.

light.
dark.
light.
dark.

in this movement
it resists
both
in light
in shadow.

Instead of this,

emergency landing
RoDin Dec 2013
a confined hard-core smoker
in an 8-hour-flight
over the Atlantic
misses his nicotine.

the abstinence of you
is the kind of missing
only chronic smokers
on overseas flights
can understand.

Destroyer

Come on, let's live an impossible dream.

I can only live possible dreams.
I refused.
Unvariably, I wake up every morning
living a dream you destroy

everytime my feet

How far?
RoDin Sep 2013
Is it?
Only a table between us?

The Abramovic ☐ Ulay kind of distance?

No more corners?
No more plates?
No more legs?

Only this weather-resistant table?
Is it?

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

A graceful habit
RoDin Aug 2013
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!

What triggers a poem?
RoDin Aug 2013
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.

What love is not about
RoDin Aug 2013
Love is not about the film
but the popcorn

Love is not about the book
but the story

Love is not about the ballet
but stepping on each other's toes

Love is not about a poem
but trying to write it

It's not the colour
Not to blame the style
The size just ideal
The balance far from hostile

So, what's the root of this frizzy spirit
no balm can calm down?

the plasticity in bipolarity
RoDin Jul 2013
part of me
stands
as a stiff bust
in the center of the square
(no one cares anymore. it's been there for a long time)

part of me
dances
as a shameless plastic bag
gone with the wind
(it is disturbing. its plasticity is too mobile and *****)

Embottlement
RoDin Jul 2013
Sending bottles overseas:

one full of oxygen
for your lungs

another plenty of warmth
for your heart

a third one filled with light
for your mind

a last one unnamed
to play the joker

I'm just a genie
constrained in a bottle
who fell for you.

Fertile and irrigated
Abundant water
Flowing deep and torrential
Undammed waterfall

Poking chubby clouds
Exceptional precipitation level
Fast flowing river

Your wand and my soil
Never, I said, never

Along the boulevard
RoDin Jul 2013
Standing up before the forked road:
This direction? That way?

In one hand a spoonful of doubts
In the other a penknife of precision

Eventually
she cut out her own way
sipping bitterness

The forked road into a trident boulevard
Good and Evil
hand in hand
side by side

varieté
RoDin Jul 2013
oh, boy...

it felt like a circus
coming to the middle of nowhere:
my heart spit fire,
walked a tightrope,
performed a back somersault,
laughed with the sad clown,
ate cotton candy and popcorn,
did the cancan dance
and thumped home
percussively joyful!

(final notice: circuses move. the show must go on)
