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.
