newspaper business has brought us far


newspaper business has brought us far
to these territories where desert rivers
descend from    huge clouds cultivated

though this is partly sunny
each laughter from the room
                    is that document

all directions from the same place



all directions from the same place 
don’t lead to the same place
  that’s why you’re a butterfly
     and I, a moth, but one family
         the abandoned lawn
            but I care about

there’s no true lovers
but just lovers who never change
