A man came into church one day
Not sure what he would find,
Lately he had questions that
Were troubling his mind.

Many shook his hand and said,
"Welcome, please come in."
The music played and people sang
And something stirred within.

Through the window the air gushed as a strong gale-
Upon the two serpents rushed and dashed the mail-
Carrying many a reflection, which upon it hath set the sail.

hidden intentions
forseen      from afar
set in the dark
tracks in the stone
to posterity through cloisters
with empty streams
a desert
     of aged rivers
folds of nothingness
now run cold

treasures like rain
in abundance

I can still picture Janno – a sweet nerdy cross-eyed girl from my school
who wore unflattering clothing and oddly-framed glasses.

and later in Junior high, her father was my...

LUTHIER



His life path to music starts in the Caucasus forest
From his window is seen nothing but light woodland.
His bushy uncombed hair like the trees themselves,
As if he had grown out of the woods.

Sun brown and strong over the garden hoe

My infancy was the time for imagining your unique beauty
As the saprophyte danced in the magical fountain of ambiguity
You ingenuously stole my pulverized heart with your duality
Your ironware, I mean those muscles, were more than...

Wrinkled, but beautiful still
Even in decrepit apparel and uncombed;
Jagged skin and sensual fragrance lost
But still spongy her touch is and the smell
Only thing I’d miss the most in the universe.

Toiled through hardship and still...

Beyond the times of struggle, I grew up
In blazing pursuit of success 
I sometimes lost myself
In depths of someone's envy
In closed limpid walls of mirror

Surrounded by many people
I perceived the very significance of life
They were...

She had beautiful hands, I remember
Strong and brown and crude under the choking lamplight 
that wintry autumn of the potato blight
I saw them cringe and turn over and over 
She thought I’d fallen asleep, but...

On my table
As if garbage dump
That is useful to me
As a worm in it 
Opened and a half or a few page read books 
Written notes never completed

I saw you waiting there
In your dirty pants and 
Uncombed Hair.

I was watching as you 
took the cup of coffee from
the couple next to me.

while they smoked,
and talked of a vacation
they were about to take.

I was one of the cool set,
navy blue duffle coat, scarf around
my neck, seated at a table
in Pepe's Coffee Lounge

of the political elites.

Move around here and there
So unkempt
Muddy countenance
Tufts of hair hanging
Around  their faces uncombed
As if since birth
Move around  cars 
At the traffic signals
Trailing  behind us in markets
Around houses
With a small  dish in...
