I
Irregular images
go by
quite naturally.
II
A pull deep inside
the wave plunges
before the shore.
III
A procession of doors
shutting firmly
behind me.
IV
A further pull
the water mumbles
far from the shore.
V
Gardens
how in their beauty spread
in front of me.
VI
Hooded crows
paired in the skies
time-travellers alike.
VII
Stairs beneath my feet
rise
in rambling buildings.
VIII
A single white feather
by the wind carried
across horizon deep.
IX
The train with all its nine coaches
drags in tunnels
stoically.
X
Sky creatures
bizarrely by me undisturbed
in the same sea.
XI
Words of use
written or spoken
lavishly, kindly.
XII
Thick shadows of the olive trees
for a moment still
unnaturally.
XIII
In a bookstore’s poetry section
we speak for ten minutes
then never again.
XIV
All the sounds finally
surrender
to the eyes’ silence.
Summer 2024,
