all these austere faces
appeared before me
frozen in stone
stories of kings
who had lost their voices

traveling day*
Dreams nestled in the palm of your hand
quite convenient for the train
they weigh almost nothing or
stand still in a corner
of the brain that has left me at the station
to take the train that goes nowhere

finding my balance*
finding my balance
between day and night
flexibility and stiffness
the movement of water
and the reassurance of wood
moving forward like on a wire
not looking ahead
to avoid vertigo

a haughty shadow
delineated in Indian ink
appeared in my dreams
speaking a foreign language that
evoked my roots
but felt like thorns
sinking unwittingly
under the skin of origins
