The Man Who Is Silent

The man who walks on
Calzada De Los Muertos, speaks
only in Spanish.
“… in the remains of yesterday
rain a bit of Moon is shining.
Ice too much ice. And the time is
somehow split up into tomorrow and
into tomorrow. And the love, oh,
love is…”
The man goes on.
Yes.

Yonder, on the alley of birds,
a couple is speaking into gold.

Wow, I love this, it is deep and so moving. I find the language a lonely thing because I am Irish but live in Germany and have lived in many other countries where I had to learn new languages, this says a lot to me. I also love your use of the weather to create the atmosphere of cold and misery and then love...the image of the birds and speaking into gold, this is a wow poem for me.
