SUMMER SOLSTICE
2
They all see visions
but no one admits to it;
they keep on going believing they are alone.
The huge rose
was always here
next to you, deep in sleep
yours and unknown.
But only now that your lips touched it
in its innermost petals
you felt the dense weight of the dancer
who falls in the river of time—the terrible splash.
Don’t waste the meaning that this
breath of life has given you.
