DARKNESS OF DUST

I watch them segretating me
for my colour language
and independent search for truth:
they dismantle one world

and their heart the throne of glory
turns abode of strangers:
I remain restless as ever
in the darkness of dust

VISION

Searching Christ's sandals

in the pile of shoes at

the church's entrance

Invisible

jangles odours presences--

twinges in bed

Searching slavation

a moth flies into the lamp:

oily burial

Drying on the line

pork, venison, and beef--
the room smells their vests

Don't know their tongue--
the stars beyond the mountains
whisper among themselves
