Poem 39

recurring words

found among friends

blood, sweat, madness,

beer, wine, turmoil

psychopathy, oblivion

self-destruction

like they and all around

is drifting, drawning,

encapsulated in mighty darknesses

surfing tidal waves of despair

confusion and hurt

observing from afar

i process, under the stars

Poem 38

Two turns

Black, blue, pink aside

Come late, play dead, sit still

Backwards the sound, mute left channel

Layers of magnetic pinball wizzards

Semi light adobe, smoking trails

Close, running tracks, skate pipes

Descend the hill, scaffold ropes

Dangling like snakes, run

Make for fun, gist of life

Too grand a dream to grasp

Night, tucked in bed, silence

Wondering, what if

Haiku 14

três garrafas tombadas

casacos abandonados

ao som de bolas de bilhar

Poem 37

Everyday we sit, reading

On the sand by the bay

Under the apple trees

Red, orange, yellow

Drying clay entangled in stars

Brand new, the day,

Takes us away, far

Far from home

Close to Europa

Ice, sun, sea

Basking in delight
