I want to jump with you

There is no pain in the air where the clouds and roses are

No white dogs flying between the lamps and stars

Here I am neither a human nor a poet nor a figurative bird

I fly dusty with love and the freshness of the clouds rowing us within rivers of musk and forgotten streams of ashes of old dead stars..

I want to jump with you

This love must have been once a path to sunset with God..!

___

If a lazy dawn-like example comes hiding behind a storm

If a heart like a trembling lake with crutches comes!

If like an oily river in an ancient painting comes!

If it comes to tame the beasts of loneliness in my imagination

If it comes.. ..

Oh, the calls

Like dead bees stuck by an innocent child with a flower from his home garden!

I am also going alone forever

I open these two eyes to the sun and dust

O earth, breathe on my face so my brown sadness wine

Becomes a submerged grave

Jumping between my fingers are the legs of cedar and corn

No one will throw themselves on me

No sadness, no redness, no burning

I swallow your dried tear hooks: this is painful

All farewells are cheap..

I pulled aside my curtain

There was nothing I could do

I started to inhale the cold air

I can’t even say "Good morning, little bird"

I’m going to hell!

It’s impossible to explain that

But I am not miserable now.. I just feel the bitterness of doing anything!
