Are you here?
The yesterday is about to share
what we are expecting
tomorrow
time is penetrating in meditation while
all those we
love are saying goodbye.
a yearning departure
a soul getting old in love
a road and a traveller
a pure swagger
the wasteland of distance is the
guillotine for acclimatization and
receptivity
where are you now?
all the places miss you
absolute delirium singing
ghosts of smiles beg
misleading details
barricades
shaded lamps
nightmares
the demise of now
Are you here?
The now is watching you
the embryos
and the old messages
what I like and you crave
are you here now?
or I just love you and the yearning
elongate in the time that I’m no
longer in it
Are you here now or
it’s just that I’m another
person without you
who no longer realizes what
he is aware of.
