Sometimes a love affair is an old

landlady sweeping leaves off the

sidewalk in the early morning.

Rain

An evening bee -

its chores

interrupted.

Do you ever wonder.

What size would

a dwarf's

business card be?

Bar

Wine bottles lined up impeccably like patient glass butlers. A girl at the bar is sipping a drink. She is thinking about summer days stretched under an elastic lavender sky. She asks for the check. Pays. She slips off the bar stool and walks out across the glistening grass. Barefoot.

Coast

As I ran, the ocean rained

on me.

(...)

Washing scraps of smoke

out of my hair.

Sour

The sun on my skin

smells

purple.

Silence

Unpacked suitcase at my feet in a hotel

room of my mind.

Bench

Ghost in white
next to me, in
black.

Air and rock.
I scatter. Penetrate.
Will you crush?

Don't tread on blooming
weeds.

Hello. Remember me?

We talked about the weather.

Please love me.

Decision

A one-euro coin in my coat pocket. I will spend it

on something lasting. Find a payphone. Dial number:

"I love you".

Once upon a time, we lived in a sweet inconsequential world of

domesticity. We did every little daily thing together. We cooked

together; we ate dinners and cleaned dishes together; we slept

and woke up together; we hated the alarm clock at 7 am and the

pre-spring rain together. Inside our matchbox-size world we began

dying. Together.

Train

Fluorescent light: paper rabbit ear

brushed against my knee.

Rhyme

With white dust

on her pretty hair,

her arms and cheeks

and her black dress:

she flips moon

pancakes in the air.

Eyes

Almonds sitting in a pool of

milk.

Gremlin

Face screwed up like a petulant
raisin.

I spread you over me like butter

over a crispy morning

hour.

Entrée to night: glossy icing on
evening trees.
