Poem for Today

Walking in Fields

Talking to the sunflowers in the evening,

Their heads are down, 

Arched very low,

In a terrible despair,

As if they see nothing left.

I tell them not to be afraid,

That their love will be back tomorrow,

I know it will be better for them.

I speak to them,

Because it make me less alone,

And like them, I am also looking at the ground, 

But at least I can keep moving.

Poem for Today

Galaxy

Topography of morning,

As the sun skittles over the canvas of your body.

The wandering galaxy of my life,

It is written,
In the twinkling freckles and dark stars,

Flowing over your naked back.

Gleaming like a negative night,

Obverse of the sky.

My lips touch the inclined hill of your shoulder,

And your eyes finally open.
