WINGED SYMPHONY
Some regrets
with dark rings
of some ghost
fly down
through mornings;
At times
a saltus
singing like a soprano
fancies itself
light
trying to fly away,
to get
the wide-open-eyed
window
void of turquoise,
up in the sky.
Some regrets
fly down
through mornings
tempting
silent strings
with ghost-like sounds.

IN THE NEST
Hidden
does she sit
with wide-open eyes
and burning wings;
O, how she would fly !
Once she tried to
and almost jumped ,
yet never made it right.
Hidden
does she still just sit,
quietly she does pass away
for they wouldnt teach her
about rising up into the sky
with those frenetic wings of hers ,
with those big eyes that smile.

she understands
how in so immense a tear
all her colours have been drowned
Now they dont hurt so bad,
Now they dont course like storm.

now she knows
somewhere in the final lines
theyve given her the right

CUPRINS
Miracle ! ...
to have flown so high
and have talked
to the turquoise Soul
And so many big birds ...
with sleepy pulse ,
with closed-trembling wings !
And among them ...
crystal grains.
Nothing have I done
but to choose
my one and only
dateless melody ,
a bit of vast turquoise.
