time's arrow

so you watch the sunrise sinking

and she's talking in her sleep

a dream of how alone she was

tommorrow when you keep

all those promises to someone

in a mirror you will find

at your parents' house in 1989



terrorized

by the ruling party: calenders and commas

small request

could we please turn around?



so you whisper your arrival

walking backwards to the door

wonder briefly what it is you're hesitating for

all the streets lie down deserted

in the darkest part of night

to lead you through the evening to the light



pulled along

in tender grip of watches and ellipses

small request

could we please turn around?
