Objects
We suddenly inhabit
this space
settled on cardboard mountains
and in the corner of a huge box
we arrange the objects
the things
from another space,
from another life
and start for a new
discovery of the objects.
They live differently here.
They intrude
they buy shares for the new order
in the life to come,
they comfortably settle
in the new valley
of the cardboard box.
Discovering the beauty
To say - beautiful
about a woman you love,
and to mean by that
the beauty
ephemeral
luminescence
of
youth
slipping away
the soft and inviting
skin
slowly, steadily
withering
under the all - seeing
eye.
To say to the woman
you love
that she is beautiful
knowing
the consequences of the avowal
means that you are discovering -
She is definitely singular.

Attempts
I'm trying to find the lips
for me to kiss
I'm trying to find the hand
for me to touch
I'm trying to find the eye
for me to see
And to show me where the lips are
for me to kiss
Where the hand is
for me to touch
Where the eye is
for me to see
The eye I can't see
News
When you want to get of your home
you go to the front door
but it won't open.
You go to the back door
and to all the other doors
only to see they are all closed.
You turn to the windows.
One by one
you try to open them.
You go to small windows
in the bathroom in the loo
they wont't give it either.
Yes, the garage grating
but you can't squeeze through
and then you notice
an inadvertent hole in the wall
an you go through.
You find yourself in the street
and go to the bakery
where you usually buy your bred.
But it's
a cobbler's shop now.
You go to what used to be
the cobbler's shop,
thinking that's where
the bakery is now going to be
but it is copier's.
