swirl

a circle
that wraps you in
a swirl
that contains the days
and all that is said
and all that is done

i find myself
by myself again
and it feels
as if it never were
any different..

they cut through lives
and leave
brick steel concrete
lifeless cranes
moving instead
of green leaves
i close my eyes again
and i imagine
blue orange and pink
blending slowly behind
my tall green trees
i close my eyes again
and i imagine..

corner

i mix
i match
i break
i crack
i color all of them back

i store
i send
i crave
i bend
i get back on the track

i see
i hold
i care
i fold
a corner to bring back

tall and strong

it is like I have lost
two of my close friends
he said

i feel the emptiness
i feel the loss

i wonder how
they can cut through life
like that
break it into pieces

i wonder why
i wonder how
people lose their connection
to the nature and the earth
i wonder how they see it

they could have built the house
beside them
they could have built
a smaller house

they could have removed them
and planted them
somewhere else

i feel angry
for not being there
to protect them

i feel sad
i will miss watching them
dancing through the winds
i will miss them welcoming the birds
sitting on their branches
and singing
i will miss the huge nest

i will miss the sunrise
sprinkled on their skin
and the sunset
coloring their backs

i will miss their winter nakedness
their spring blossoms
their full green
their yellow and orange fall

it was so sudden
he said
one day they are here
and the next they are gone

i feel like we are next
he said
that they are coming after us
the machines

i close my eyes
and i imagine
that they are still there
tall
and strong

i will miss our trees..

until

somehow
somewhere
someone
leaves a track
and you follow it
until
you find a new track

somehow
somewhere
something
makes you feel at home
you wrap yourself in it
until
you find a new home

second life

on the roof
right on the edge
of what looks like
a house
i don't know where
not sure if i like it
i really don't know it
don't know how to fly
where to fly
what to look for
what to ask

but there is a mystery
maybe some possibilities
some changes
some challenges
so i try again
i try to stay
i try to equip myself
to be able to be born
again..
