an unusual sight
mind taking a flight
into the space
behind the face
stillness of an ocean
awareness in motion
between each breath
chance of death
view outside the eyes
impressions that arise
aiming to give meaning
generalizing screening
birthing of new ideas
might be no panacea
for having loving heart
beats being smart
tangled words
out the throat
only wheezing
escapes
jammed in the
narrow passage
all letters of the
alphabet
blunt or sharp
like a spear
a pen with
no ink
leap into
the unknown
fear aside
inhale
a tale about
raw diamonds
yearning to be
discovered
…shine
days seem too short
time encapsulated
magic of the forest
where each tree needle
fell to the ground
without a sound
sitting around a bonfire
listening to the crackling
of the wood sap
eyes absorbing flames
cheeks and palms
shades of hot pink
reflecting on the past days
hours and years blend
into one infinitive mass
past present and future
only fictitious concepts
piercing through space
moments ago God’s child
now just a grey nomad
well behaved adult
following written rules
the wisdom hidden
behind thick curtains
innocence dissipated
like a smoke of the fire
only distant smile remains
so fragile and deep
you would almost miss it
in a blink of an eye
the cabriolet was waiting
it was a late morning
after the wedding
time to sober up
the plan was to head north
to the checkpoints
then through them
into the land of opportunities
in the warm shower
she made the decision
it was time to put her life
into her own hands
her dreams awaited
on the other side
of the border
she jumped into the car
and only then
a sudden jolt
she woke up
sweating
still single
