From Suggested Signs

Pollution

The prostitute, at the front of the street
Is gazing at me:
The disastrous face…
The blue clouds…

The prostitute, at the front of the street, approaches
(While I depart-receding-through the stifling smoke of vehicles, into a face of a woman,
who didn’t come…).

Cinema

On a signboard, a naked woman
Among soldiers
Among crowds
Among thieves
………
On a signboard
A woman
Among naked crowds

Childhood

In the ancient childhood
when you were free
It wasn't freedom
But was rain:

The lonely step which drowned in the mud
Remained immobile
Exposed to the ages.

Rain
Nothing
Rain alone
Words are bubbles
People…
Footsteps…
The meaning…
Nothing
You and the meaning
Alone…

Medusa

The human hand forgets
the white drop squeezed
from the cortex of ways

Close to the tea
Distant from home

The protrusive veins
petrify

The glass snakes
draw a figure of their own
on the air’s cup

The human hand
remembers.
