eggs cooked
on the asphalt road
fighting off the drowsiness
crossing over the center line
ignoring the stop sign
running
and when I'm done
with the dangerous
i pull into the parking lot
I can smile
what it is.

i want to hide
love's passion

the sun
hides in the sea

rising at dawn
like the sun

to thee
all things

I want to show you
everything.

If you love, you can drink without uncapping beer bottle.

New Year's Eves
the winds of time on the Asphalt
sweeping the sands

At the thought that the year is turning
Winter more lonely
than fall

In a narrow alley
little children play
on low roofs
the day is burning red

When tears running away
slipping between fingers
sitting winter down
beside me
along the banks of the Hudson

I will take a drive.

without saving
with sad
I said
and
Joy was made.

When love is coming,
world is robbed of sorrow
people's consciences clash
with each other
and shine through

When love is coming,
world cannot stand still
flames of the fight
and it quietify

When the veil of love is lifted,
day after day after day
we can hear
sounds of the world

When love is coming,
do not be afraid
nothing will be taken away
no one can take it away.

Place on the rat-eaten desk
a red piggy bank
mother said
“Honey, no matter how much you want to take it out
If you hold on it there until it's full
you will be a great man”
One month
Two months
As the months went by
than the mind to put money in
more eager
to take it out and spend it
then one day
“Mother, I don't want to be a good man.”
before my words were finished
“What are you trying to be?”
My mother said
I was wandering
around outside the neighborhood
when the chimneys started to smoke
sneakily into the room
and slaughtered a pig
“Oh, yeah!”
we were calling each other's names
we ran to the shabby store.
