Garlic vine flower buds
a second before they bloom
remind me of your
untouched lips.

A red car
parked over fresh
green grass
is a lady resting.
17:35
A slow afternoon,
trike drivers patiently waiting,
as if it was an hour before
the bombs were dropped in 1945.

I saw him once more
the tall deaf boy
on his bike, envying him
for the silence he holds forever.
17:43
In the midst of a crowd
with fancy dresses
I walked when you blew me
a kiss wrapped in smoke.
18:00
This lovely green car
reminds me of a snake
out in the open after months
in the undergrowth.

You have what they covet
but in their desire to see it
they can’t help
but to laugh at you.
18:44
The trees told me
to stop looking at their shadows
because to look at their shadows
is to look at them.
19:25
When fireflies hover
around a lamppost
are they blinded that they
can’t see how beautiful they are?
Alternative:
do their tiny mouths blaze in joy?
do they also dream they can shine as bright as it?
