Under a canopy of oak drenched
Sunset
In a sea of moss
Capsizing lighthouses in my ears
Cold air prickling my skin
Like thorns of the dead roses
On my windowsill
In the shadow of Diego
And dreams of Mexican nights
Trotsky and salsa
Searching for Warhol,
The bannana, the velvet underground,
Maralyn Monroe
I reach for it
And it rolls towards
Electric moss
And over there is a heartwrenchingly
Perfect flower –
Whose home I forget –
Fallen
And it makes me think that
There must be something after
We all fall off our trees
Maybe death is the catalyst of beauty
The firestarter of vibrancy…
If only I knew its language…
