If suddenly


Dedicated to some of you, not all (of you). One should never strive to an indigestion.

Thought.
An unannounced thunderstorm
as a dash of sun
in the darkest of the night.

Thát unexpected!
Delusions?
Or not?

World-weariness served
on a dinner plate at breakfast
and again at lunch and
when you suspect to get
it again on the appropriate time
you are vainly trying to eat soup
out of a black hole.

One wants to be kind and tender;
extreme endearment in a hatred
landscape as if dying means bursting
the blue sky.

Look into the deep of mirroring water
with moonlight and find your soul as dark
as your thoughts.

No more, balance between sunny landscapes
and, gray penciled skies,
Anxiously looking hands
and a
fearfully thinking mind
in search for charcoal.

Colors stop to be colors without light.
Thoughts are on halt without oxygen.
Minds shrink in absence of love.
Warmth and cold are suddenly without temperature.  

And
if, if
suddenly?

Shadows


If you allow me
to use him in plural?
Him as he’s mine, but
do I belong to him or
is it him who possesses me?
Plural as in multiple coz
from my view I see
one, as from your
perspective we should determine
if it is the same you perceive.

-  for the attentive reader,
    we’re talking about shadows -

Influenced by backgrounds and soils
he’s wearing shades of grey (sic) (*)
or black and at nightfall
he tends to disappear.

Is he following me or do I
precede him?
His behavior tends to imitate,
he walks, runs, jumps, hangs,
he grows and shrinks as
in a dance, one step
to the left, one step
to the right.

What about his gender or
shall I say her?
I tend to see him as my
naked reflection but clearly
he loves to wear a hat
as I do.

Depending on my moods
I sometimes want to
trample or coddle
him, her, them, but it
does not seem to affect it
at all.

- noticed the change of pronoun?
  sure you did! -

Once I’m in the spotlight
he multiplies himself as
a majestic plural…
We your shadow!
