12 poems

Water shivers in a glass

From the cold. Its feminine trembling

From the cold. Now the nights are cold,

In another moment—the first leaf will fall.

A year of our love already has passed,

And all, it seems, is the scent of that leaf

And that water in a glass. And it won’t be long

To this year that’s already passed.

And a shoe tossed aside,

Clothes on a chair, and till morning

A tunnel wind makes the water froth in the glass—

In another moment, and a stream will break out from it.

In a way that a century maybe is just a step.

When the black silk tunnel burns,

And August like an unexpected shout,

And all of life is a stream or a gulp...
