together

He kissed her
I wanted to taste your smile
How does a smile taste?
Like sunshine, this universe and the orbit

He kissed her
I wanted to taste you
How is the taste?
Like fresh earth dug out of
This bleak graveyard

He kissed her
I wanted to taste your shadow
How does a shadow taste?
Like honey, past and the present
Missing only the taste of
Our future together

Undeniable Ecstasy

Search for me
under the bridge
under the streetlamps
under this vast silence
My long legs
for you to walk
my beehive to hide
from the dark Gods of
your night
My lips
glossy wet and
slippery for your taste

This street
a nightclub of
criss-cross bodies
you
make love to me here

Even if
I am afraid of
the Creeping smell of
your eyes
decayed tooth and
armpits

Engulf me with your lust
so pure, absolute and original
it is me and you
under this rusty bridge
in our only place of undivided attention
In our only moment of undeniable ecstasy

Dream in its beak

A rat
In a mail box
searching for dropped dreams

Enlightened
A crow
Waits on top of the red mail box

Running around
Stirring the darkness
The rat
Slowly dissolved into a
Transparent whirlpool
Of dreams

By noon
The crow flew off with a
Dream in its beak

Angel

When kids sleep
I saw them smile
Frown
And speak
To someone we never met

I tried to fathom
The depth
They travel
Through the tunnels of
Their sleep
Decorated with dreams
Colors or anything
We never remember
From a childhood so distant

Many times, I wondered
Whether
God just borrow their
Souls to be his angels
When they sleep

Holy Pregnancy

I died of fear
And my neighbor too

He was born again, a stray cat
That ate a snake
That was I

I used my venom
He vomited, and died a second death

I was in his body
Not dead
But, etched on the cells
The soul never escaped
From the rotten body

In a Monsoon
Sharp raindrops shattered the putrid body
I ended down in a well
A pretty girl drank up the water
And got pregnant

A holy pregnancy
