Silky Times
We are witnesses
of new silky
times.
Old mothers do
not give birth to slender sons,
fragile
daughters are not like their patriarchal mothers
huddled around
the chimney of the family home.
The old red and
white thread has been torn
from the
cauldron with which my grandmother
every time in
front of the fireplace
patched up the
pieces of time
from today till
tomorrow.
Grandfather puts
his hat on his gray hair,
with the hunting
rifle he descended
upon the
mountains to hunt wild rabbits.
We are
witnessing stingy times.
In the glassy
cobwebs
stand only
the silky spiders.
Submerged Sides
I always
believed in the changing skin
of the first
myths.
The world is
born from a pea,
then it suddenly
dies in the dark whirlwinds.
The cosmos is
born again,
a glassy-eyed
newborn
he sees us and
reassures us
in the fiery
creation.
I always believe
in passing skin
of the last
myths.
I stretch the
slimy bow
on the
bareheaded bubble.
Today the
century is drowning in the hot waters.
There is no
salvation!
The new Noah
from the sinking
ark
he is lying to
himself
that here and
now
in front of us
the truth
unfolded.
A Silk Road
The Mystic Monks
in Chinese
shrines
like hermits
guarded
the age-old
secret.
Everyone who
entered
through the
mythical gates
to unravel the
knot
under the neck
carries
a silky cord.
The noble
cocoons
are stingily
hidden in
the bamboo
sticks.
Byzantine monks
outsmarted the
East.
They spread a
silk road
in their wake.
