Green Transparence
Transparence of a single acacia leaf
May angels shed their clothes legs stained green pale smiles chase me
memory becomes a swan’s throat and shimmers before her
Now where did the truth go
The music of birds congealed in the dew of night pictures of trees printed on the walls of the sky a green wind quietly sweeps them away
Pleasure on the other side of death calling from the far side of the earth
As if seeing the sun, grown heavy, falling into the blue sky
Run! My heart
Become a sphere to her side
Then inside a teacup
—Layered love that makes us unhappy
Milk wrinkles quiver my dream ascends
Visibility through a single acacia leaf
May angels who discard their clothes there legs dirtied green
faint smiles that chase me memories glimmer before her as the neck of a swan
Now where has the truth gone
Bird music congealed by evening mist pictures of trees printed on the walls of the sky
a green wind gently flicks them off
Pleasure is on the other side of death calling from the other side of the earth like watching the sun, grown heavy, dropping towards the blue sky
Run! My heart
To her side as a sphere
