ACQUAINTANCE

There is a crack, walking

In the eyes of a man I once knew

Just in passing

Life – the very last port

I do not recognize him

He got lost

In the battles

 

THE PORTS

I am a port

Boats are slowly leaking

Away from me

I am an anchor with no steersman

Wet from bad weather

That wipes my face clean

There is no end to my thoughts

When I don`t sail at dawn

That`s how I build upon it

With the carriage of life that can`t

Be seen

I build upon the docks

The ports

 

WIND

I know

Wind never lies

A man – yes

Wasting his energy

Looking for excuses

Wind is high up there

A man often falls

When will wind and man

Mingle their strengths?
