The Birth Of Sound

Silent dreams on the mountain slope

I pulled on my mother’s skirt

A voice rises from my brother

Like a folk song coming back from captivity

The rainbow takes place on my forehead

To the touching mornings

A flower blossomed on

The dead poet’s grave

I pushed away the sorrows

From my door

Like the deaths we can get used to

I bid farewell to the sorrows on my forehead

My eyes closed a prehistoric period

Sounds were born in the grievous mountains

Of my hearth

Hey! The Other

He woke from the amulet on my mother’s chest

To time, to days, to hours

A bird took flight to

Fall branches

His sorrowful hearth bleeds to the night

His fears are exiles

The atlas of loneliness written inside of his palms

Stone, soil, colour all alone

He fired the invaded coys

From the core of time

He released the sound

Of the song on the flower’s tongue

Hey! Other hey!

The amulet on my mother’s chest was sacred

A voice echoed to the whole universe

I came to circum ambulate

The Face Of My Mother

It was my motherland

That I saw in her wrinkles

Deep, steep but soft

One that feeds from sorrowful times

As she tries to hide her scars

she brings out her geography

She tells her problems silently

With her face shadowed sorrow

Her eyes are ready to rise

Like the sun behind the mountains

Maybe she turned within herself

To a hearth with deepness

The curves on her forehead sign to

The mountains, the creek beds, the plains

Oh!

The soil promised to me

Like a field of flowers;

My mother’s face
