Adagio
Does Star Sirius B play
an Evening for Tuba in D
for you too?
Fire destroyed vapour enveloped the ruins of my soul are a background
to fireflies of music in a hostile space
in floating time
in a room
full
of forgetting me.
Intermezzo
Three betrayals are between us and two previous loyalties
one dedication to a different cause. My arms embrace
all that and more drawing you to me
in a perfect
circle how
could it be
Dolente
Wild flower in my dream is devoured in a forest that remembers
pieces of sky that remember an unbearable fire
on Star Sirius that remembers space of the universe
that remembers you
who remembers
I will not wake up
Fireflies of Music: 2
Dolce: The Era of Pleasure
This was the dimension of love, the era of pleasure
on one embraced continent.
Dinosaur to dinosaur
exhaled sulphur air and roared
from eruption to eruption there
between me and you
a word did not disturb the world
Intermezzo: The Weak Force
Panagea, one small continent in a round, strong ocean
longed to split
internal fires exploded
lavas and shifts escaped, split waters erupted
depths struggled to emerge
a bad atmosphere blew at her pieces
four forces licked
the weak force pulled at her mind she couldnt change
Staccato: The Era7 of Fracture
To know the whole and feel the fractures.
In a reality of shattered quantities what equals what.
By the time the line divides us
will I know?
An Expert
Im an expert
at losing
Once I exchanged an ocean for a distant mountain a mountain
for a whole desert a desert for a brief love of a man
him for hope hope for a bird close to my heart
Deer flit by in Habima Square deers at midnight
morning dew proves a true essence of chase
If Ill desire the softness of water
I have nothing to exchange
Forest of Errors
The deep forest of errors is behind me
something black
in front of me
pulls out possibilities:
fragile rain, lightning and drought, a violent tornado
over a city of sirens
between
heartbeat and heartbeat
will I manage to ask what, in fact,
do I see?
