A different life 

Thinking of the auspicious time  
‎you stop working  
‎You uprooted trees  
‎out of fear of the owl’s ominous call… 

‎A hundred and one owls  
‎clinging to your own roots  
‎They take that inheritance  
‎to the street meetings, to the market
‎and to the ration lines every day.   
‎In fact, being alive is either   
‎an unperceived dream or a mistake 
‎or another life just like poetry…  like song  
‎I’d rather be sleeping   
‎next to your chest…   
‎I’m twice as warm with emotion.
