It Is Evening Now

 

It is evening now.

And somehow light is not enough.

On the table, with the white cloth,

the darkness traces out.

But still – not …

Arms to the wrist.

And round bread.

It is evening now.

And it is far.

Your home, there’s none

to enter.

 

On The Sand They Remain

 

On the sand they remain -

the birds' steps.

 

The sea murmurs

deadend

before the night moon

falls.

The life which

has left us

we exchanged

for

the sand.

And how refined

the grit

is scattered.

You cannot

gather it

in a hollow of a hand.

 

On the sand they remain -

the birds' traces.

 

The Girl With The Cherries

 

The girl

who used to open

the markets

and lock the day.

The girl with the cherries

is flying away…

And they soared

like rainbows.

The traders’ faces

stretched.

The passers by

sank their hearts.

And somebody

smiled,

gathered the pastels

and went on.
