—————
night
Where white lily blooms
Will sing a song of the cyclone
Two impatient hearts
Two vagabond heads
Folded in our pockets
And the sound of our own voices
We are a full-time dreamer
Ocean clouds only know our dreams
Voices of broken guitar and violin
Dark locks of the night
Today is Saturday, day after tomorrow
On Monday night
We are going for a poetry meet
Wordless poems, what this night needs…
