An Aurochs from Box travelled far and near to find someone dear.
Finally, he met Sue—a pretty cow who lived in a shoe.
With all his might he let out a bellow
And filled the valley with an echo:
"Ready to go steady?"

The Dune on the Rock
where fine grains of time
gradually slip
revealing footprints
of lost vertebrates:
an archaic
human being -
Neanderthal;
red deer, aurochs
elephants
and ibex…
crumbling sand
unveils
extinct
past

Sun flower follows the sun
If there is no sun
Sunflower is done
But sunflower is beloved by sun
Vine of grape needs sun to
But sun rarely gets through
And shade of grape stops the view
To sun grape is like practitioner of voodoo
It challenges the very sun
And sun always wins when day is done
For grape vine there is no place to run
And mild fire and the vine is gone
But grape can grow from just one pod
To plants sun is what to us is God
But grape vine can defy God
It can replenish itself from just one living rod
Nonetheless vulnerable grape is
Fire can burn it with its flaming kiss
Man can cut it preventing it to enjoy its bliss
But in spirit indestructible grape vine is
Some men are like this Grape vine
Their spiritual strength seems divine
There are men who like poison ivy with devil align
But others are like grape they are strong defiant but benign
And in procession of mind we are all indestructible
Like a proud aurochs unshakable and ideal
We will all one day stand before master of light purple
But in spirit some of us will not be dead at our own burial

Once universe was vibrant place
Full of life
Full of energy
And yes full of beauty
Now it is cold
As chilly as cold wind in my soul
Once there was light
Now there is only darkness
Where there was mercy
Now there is unfair judgment
But remember
When you step on the scorpion
It will sting
If you put red cloth
In front of a Aurochs
It will attack
That is the way I feel
As limited
As humiliated
And as stuck in cold place
As I ‘am
I will rise
Like Phoenix from the ashes
Like dragon from chains
I have skulls
In my eyes
Thoughts of revenge
Doubt in existence of just God
But is there consolation
Is there heaven
And what would heaven mean to me
Place where my soul would be free
I guess for me
Haven would be
Not only place in which I have full control of my destiny
Or immortality
But place perfect
According to me
Place where I would be with all my anger
Able to say
That life is not designed by a fool
A tale
Not told by an idiot
Merciful just and wonderful
But I can’t imagine
What would it be?
Definitely not
What right now I see

Smell of fall is in the air
Day and night at each other tear
People throw coins to wishing well at park square
Aurochs is being chased by Bergman’s bear
The wind paints the colors of the leaves on trees
They fall off with the breeze
Along with chestnuts that will form new shoots after the freeze
The last bits of pollen is collected by honey bees
Deep in the forest all day long
You might fallow nightingales’ song
But you never find mushroom ten feet tall and imbedded so strong
That you could not tear it out with truck much less a tong
But mushroom like that you might find
In the deepest recesses of your mind
The essence of growth in the mushroom entwined
To which most of the world is blind
