It had been getting dark for some time
and people were crawling on the streets
and I stood at the window
waiting
to see,
recently,
a man
who would like to give his life
to can only fly
for a second ...
But this man came not once ...
and late in the night
in the light bulb,
it began to snow ...
Slowly ...
Slowly ...
Growing more slowly...
and the song,
and the seconds,
twinned,
were leaking on my skin,
scratching me
once
and once again
until I reached
to a moment
when I felt like suffocating,
because them,
the seconds,
like some claws,
they had been dugging trenches in to me.
Later,
when I had a very few time left until beyond,
when I felt life flowing out of me
I saw
in those trenches dugged by the seconds twinned with the song
that the people which were earlier crawling
Now they took flight from my trenches.
They were like some winged dwarfs
like the hummingbirds,
and I enjoyed
that at least in those last seconds
I could enjoy their joy ...
and I wanted to wave my hand for them,
but they were already high in the air
hummingbirds like ... slowly ...
slower and slower again ...
and then I was sleeping for some time ...
I didn’t know ... yeah ...
I did not want to know anything about anything.
And no one prevented me ... ( I’m breathing heavily) in my desire.
Let's face it all:
I died happily, there is no doubt...
thanks for your comment. And sorry for the poem, because i'm romanian, and I translate myself my poems and proses. The poem it's about the wish to find somebody who may have the faith to really believe in something, in everything.
I've read this several times recently.
I love the rhythm and imagery but I haven't the faintest idea what it's all about - which is why I hadn't commented before!
