Othello

Before the last hour, still instants away from her terrible fate.

Desdemona's lament


"Aren't we but fools
in disguise?"
sighed the forlorn fair dame.

"We love with an
endless heart to meet
nothing but pain

Of a little lost embroidered handkerchief
brewed rage with
no mercy

Of silence between lovers
and ears to the wicked
sprung but beguiling murmurs."

Chuva fecunda

Tropical storm, latitude 52o30'North

Convince me that
convention is the way
To stay out of the rain
On a Summer day
solely for the purpose
of keeping dry

Not even questioning why
does it seem to be
such a folly

‘t is but a revelation
of what unknown powers
water
drops
and gravity retain.

Treelogics

A treelogue – you, me and the tree

Under a tree of blooming light

In the park in the night

We considered soberly

The roots of the problem

And in drunken words

The shooting ideas emerged

Clear

As the leaf green clouds over us were

Smeared away

To let Dawn in

And the first rays of morning

Gushed through

The horizon as the epilogue to

An “opera maxima”

Reaching the releasing

Grand finale.

Blue

Blue

A dead piano on the street

The ultimate freedom

Of a carcass that once was slave

To the many ears

Of virtuous scholars

Untitled

While you do not

Distil my

Every subtlety

You will remain far from the possibility of me

Holding your existence as my one

Purpose of eternity.

For I am as rough as a gem

In its bed, awaiting eagerly

For the moment of revelation,

The one true discovery that makes

Science turn,

Sophia mute

and leaves you in awe.

Until that instant you are lost

In the immensity of a desert

Of frail existence and

Ever mutating dunes, landscapes.

I am difficult

A mountain.

I am Reality.
