Elusive

Elopement through the dry heart
One nightfall
Or the flower
I seize

In the pungent processions
Of the winter dew
The lamppost cries for
The enlightenment

In the field of epoch-making poetry
The whispers shout
For  a loving verse

With the dawn awakening
The eyes loitering for 
A peaceful sleeping

Freedom becomes
Yellow envelope of
Never reaching
