Fragment for Yorick

Lento
Fast news floating on the glass wall –
perhaps theirs.
An endless story commands
for all, but the consolation
could move seas within us.
Hawking became weightless for a moment,
I saw the angelic glow around his body.
Anyway, the secrets of escape artists
I’ve been researching nowadays and I’m
terrified that the infidel class
will one day suck me in.
I’m a swaying burden above my
shadow, but I know that
an eternal smile dwells in the hologram house.

Wheat Ears – Selected Poems

Branches

Broken branches

entwined like the dreams

you once had

free in the wind’s temper

and you managed to tie

an anchor on your ankle

and you hung from a tree branch

as if by a thread over the void

waiting for a solution

strange stagnation that governed

your thoughts like death

before death and

you said,

in the next life, I’ll become a pilot

to hide high up in the clouds
