Bucket List













How to see a dying a man
With eyes that open less frequently now
In his sleep you witness the throbbing chest
Rises and ebs, rises and ebs.

How to see a dying life
The one you claim your own
You only claim it your own
When you realize it's no one else's,gone.

How to see a dying soul
That dies even before the death of life
Life does not bring it back to life
What happens then if life's gone first?

To see the world in the eyes of death
Is to see death in the eyes of life
How to see a dying man
Through the eyes of a dying soul?

Into the Wild














Loneliness, if only you could talk
What would you tell me?
You are not a person who could say
Hi, hello.

To talk back to me
Yourself you betray
But what if you could
What would you tell me?

Would you tell me to look
At the shadows and
Imagine their real faces?

Oh, shove me away
There is no gravity
Only the intensity to frolick
In your silence.

But if only you could talk
You could also then listen
And capture the spirits
Of the tides, of the sun's rays in arrows.

But I will have to wait
Until you talk back
And I will wait even longer
'til I grow tired of you--loneliness.

And though voice you do not have
You have the perfect memory
To remember that I
Once asked you to talk back to me.
