Who claims this young woman old,
but the time that separates her branches
from your tree,
midnight miracle, pulverized emotions
and fragmented sand clock, that now
is the desert, personal sand pool
with free slivers resting on the skin;
be the wind, cough them out her pores.
Waiting for a ride when she will be published
on both sides of his fallen leaves,
when his kisses will be deeper than Baikal,
pressing her appeased, until flat with her appetite;
he rode her conceiving without the bridle,
heavier then timelessness,
more scarlet than the eyes
of the morning star lacking sleep.
Who claims this young woman old,
but the weather in the suede, casting thick pother
over the pond, deception bleached out blond,
hesitation trembling under the ballet of shadows.
Instrumental music lifting the veins
and this time
just a single sight of deaf leading the blind,
mouthing with hands, regarding through a melody;
Absent inside the Baikal, sipping profundity of a lifetime.
