Afternoons of the World

In the landscape, float
                 the evening birds
                 in return...
                 dripped butterflies
                 leave the gardens...
                 Now in the rain,
                 the lights explode
                 lit...
                 steps are cleared
                 wet,
                 stunned people
                 seek the shelters... !
                 I behind the world,
                 glazed and protected
                 I watch with my eyes
                 wet with sadness,
                 the afternoon of the world... !
