This isn’t end of word
1
Never talk to you truth?
Truth can’t exit the door
But nobody can die alone.
2
Only the wind knows
Birds cry in the flaming sky
Clouds feel your pain.
3
Love is nothing but ill memory
You can sing with silence,
feel like loving again.
4
World is the miracle eye
Word goes to fly in the air
Come on memory, kiss my life.
5
After three lines
I sleep in the flower
Honey bees wait for me.
Dream over the night
*
1
Window makes the sense of fly
The mind is throwing the cool sky
I see the fling finger, in blue eye.
2
Nobody can see my mind
Darkness is filling my heart
A hungry man eats poetry and art.
3
Mistakes the leg, where is the way?
Say birds, go to hell in the higher
Money is nonsense made of red flyer
4
Freedom is choice, nothing more
How do shy bell laugh at the door
Come on alone; deep in the love shore.
5
Dream over the night, where is the moon?
Spring is my wife, rain is my son
Life crosses death, silence is far gone.
Green egg
*
1
The city is dead, thunderstorm gathers
Ashes hove in infinite sadness
My skeleton comes from usual ridicule.
2
We lives in the green egg
It’s three layers; the hard part is black hole
One is white honey and the other red coal.
3
Mom asks me alone:
Do you know grains of reality?
I say, future makes me silent.
4
Time isn’t real, moment passes away
Dead man saw the future is luffing
We talk too fast, go in the heel. Hey!
5
Cries dye in the sky, alone heart
Give us the door, we see them depart
One step faster, labour goes to the future.
*
Absence of eye
Dedicated to Alain Badiou
1
Close the way, blind the moon
My mind wakes up, a lite fairy comes on soon
and light in the focus, looks like as loom.
2
He isn’t me, winter graze to dew
Absence of eye, open the horizontal view.
I’m nobody and he is in you.
3
The blind sees all, all isn’t there
Who knows, soil is moving the air
Freedom is bound to absence, path in here.
4
Who calls to mind, image left to blare?
Says the mirror, the shadow follows in two lines
The deep are two’s, but I’m missing to you.
5
Nobody here and there, only word is rising
Drop the leafs in rolls, life is bare to things
Nothing is done, something to see absence.
