A quarter past my grave
These leaves...
Where have they gone?
I watched a movie tonight.
I’m still watching
shadows
playing
hide and seek
among the dunes.
This desert,
this ocean,
this ME fighting the previous
has conquered.
Where have you ever seen
peace?
Peace has never seen you ever.
There’s a grenade carried by the wind,
and it hisses hellishly.
Where have you ever seen war?
...
I bow my future
before the atrocities of the past.
Salute before stabbing misfortune
in the heart.
