On visiting days
one should wear one’s best hat
and wait on the water’s edge
for the best possible world
fingers crossed in the back

#4047 poetry
Photo: On our way to Lake Titicaca
We will have to
drain the sadness of the world
through our Sunday tears
give back to the earth
memories that smell good
then we will hesitate when opening the door
Am I going out or not?

We would start again
each morning
as if nothing ever happened.
Water, fire,
pick up the twigs
burning the dead wood,
instead of invading
other planets

learning to live (again)*
We will start again
each morning
As if nothing had ever happened
water, fire, twigs
burning the dead wood
instead of invading
other planets

what you meant*
What you meant
when you didn’t talk
I listen to the branches
I do not surrender
nor sit back
