Before the twinight





























Passive remnants
dried fruit and perches
the distinctive noise
and perfume
of night flower
fresh cherry tomatoes
across the floor.

It was a Sunday.

I was swimming in the sky
a motionless gravity
sustained.

Floating words
are still surviving
all this life
and all its death
echoes heard during early evening sleeps.

It is a Sunday
it seems.

Your echo
sounds magnificent
and afterwards
outstandingly is forgotten.

Passive remnants
  the touch of repetitions
like earth and sky
or fire and water.

Let us dance now
to the sound of your voice
before this dream is woken.

Your voice
inhabiting every other patch
of the mind’s sky
alike a thousand little pieces
of a something
scattered and lifted by the clouds…

It is a Sunday
as it should be
the paintings of dead nature
the readings of some pleasure
indolent strolls and keeping diaries -
 I am dancing with the winds
your temper’s words
and dusky voice.

10 September 2017,
