What are we doing, mechanising every thing, taking the moments out of every step, those moments that can be held only with fingers knowing that time becomes sticky, a sticky piece of something, then again a flowing collection of drops, silk, it cannot be held, can only be felt, the seconds, minutes, hours within every woven thread that passed through its weaver’s fingers, the touch of warm blood under the skin of a lifetime, a century of lifetimes, what are we doing, mechanising every thing, strangers come, the cold blood of steel imprinting itself, cold heartedly weaving a frozen river around the woman’s neck, she has been touched by steel, has been denied the feel of a heart fallen river, dragonflies whirring, fish, currents, rapids, a blade of grass, now exactly those same fingers touching the green, fingertips breaching water’s surface, somebody close by is taking a swim. What are we doing, mechanising every thing.

The boy with golden skin
When your leaf
Set sails
To cross the ocean
Because you had not
Kept it in chains
A tear fell into a lake
Fish drank
My salty water
Glaciers bowed
Before the mountain
And the boy
With golden skin
Threw stardust
Into the eyes of the
sun

dew drops in your mouth
keep waiting
I keep
early morning hours
after restless nights
nonsensical
you call my senses
will I ever find out
waiting for a sound
keep waiting
you keep
dew drops in your mouth

twists
staying awake
to not get entangled
twists of a steep
mountain river
flowing upside down
lagoon – the foaming mouth
keeps spitting out
Your trunk is so wide
How long till a rosebush
Burns my heart inside out
How long till a mirror’s crack
Reflects the nest of lizards
You tried to hide
How long till punctured leaves
Have soaked all
Water from my pond
Water from my pond
How many times
Will I walk the thread
The trunk of your tree house
Will I wake you
The mob waits outside
To burn down your roof
To chop down your branches
I write your name
Into a frozen river
A dream of spring
You speak of winter
Collected some leaves
A booklet of grief
For the birds
That lost their wings
A stormy night
A dried out lake
Who has the right
To call a soul worth less
My thread is endless
Your trunk is so wide
Of sun and water's bond
Rain finds its way
Into my house
The roof that was not hatched
You tried to fix it
While all the time
I liked to sleep under stars
Most bright and beautiful
When the moon left us in darkness
Who needs a path
When walking on grass
Is all we ever wanted
Sit down with me and meditate
Sleep in my arms
A child on your lap
Blame the storms
For taking away
The depth of illusions
The wholeheartedness
All the trees are hollow
All the lakes are shallow
The ocean is a pond
Fish does not know rain
Or rainbows abandoned
Would it go insane
If only it knew
Of sun and water’s bond
To smile at rolling thunder
I meditate and wonder
What lies beyond
The centre of the storm

The king of chrysalis
Every crawler on a wall
Incites you
To give a speech on progression
Your lessons of life
Though you don’t have a clue.
Whom are you talking to?
Asks the king of chrysalis
And opens its wings
To hug the blue sky
