At Midnight

 

At midnight

the drowsiness floats

between habit and desire,

gravity weighs on the neck,

and the moment falls asleep by inertia

to revive the dream’s wreck.

 

At midnight

all dramas of the day

wear pajamas,

sighs count stars,

and the cell phone’s clock

resets its cycle of life.

 

In the center of my field of vision

in a drop of water I gather the moon

to rinse the face of the sun

that naps under the wings of the love doves

who sleep embraced on top of the willow

in front of my bedroom’s window.

 

At midnight

silence falls asleep in powerlessness

in the folds of the cheek’s print

imprinted as a dry seal

in the margins of the pillow

that writes in half of a dream

the day column’s last row.

 

 

Butterflies Of The Dream

 

The night instead of snowflakes

snows butterflies

on the anthers of the dream.

In the mature impulses of the momentum

I live the dream

and they – their life

in a momentary continuum.

Tonight the butterflies of the dream

seem like snowdrops

on the spring’s lawn.

Scattered into stars

they will rest

in the flower of the dawn.

 

 

Path

 

The sky opened

and began to fall.

I stretched out my arms

to welcome it, so

I put it on my shoulders

to rest there.

I woke up.

I look up

and I think sleepily:

Still, my path leads to you Heaven.
