I Am Now

On the road.
Wet road just like
your mouth when my heart
fell down. 
When your reason was
framed in self destruction.
The glass cried red bitterness. 

Grace.
Grace fell asleep on your planet;
the orange sky became turquoise;
tenderness turned into black.

Look at me now;
I am now.

Behind Me

The morning of cold tiles;
wet postcards;
barefoot.

Hand in hand,
sliding together;
the past was new
and the future old.

Today –
this very day –
I ran to my dreams;
the old town daydreams.

When the sky was wet;
the loose tobacco
and the winter song
were the only cravings.

… and in this quite moment,
I hear all the cries
behind me;
around us,
above it all.

Charm

Twenty four hours and more;

once again, she stood there

eyes wide and slippery.

Hands on keys

scrolling down

up, down,

DAMN!

Feeling the miracle

of those words;

heart taking over

her entire body.

Back to the red plant

with desperate eyes,

she regrets the word “charm.”
