“I LISTEND…”

… In the dim shade

Exhausted light was dim.

Suddenly the window was filled with night

A night overwhelmed with emptiness.

A night poisoned with our breath,

A night smelled of poison!

A night…

… I listened…

In the street, fearful, dark, and empty-

Someone’s heart was smashed-

Like a rotten thing.

In that inauspicious darkness

A star exploded and died.

I listened…

… My veins swelled from the storm of blood;

And my body screamed, oh, pain!

From the tempting debasement aloud!

… I listened…

To the thunder which glistened!

A stubborn fly in my room,

Sang, my air it consumed.

The crickets sang aloud;

Twisted and turned until eternity!

… I recall…

My first day of maturity in fall;

When all my body was in shame!

It shivered in an innocent ambiguity and flame.

In the dim shade-

Where light yawned and then it got dark!! ...
