Undressing Shadows
I long for the night
undressing shadows,
folding their gowns.
And empty malls
with small servings
on tiny plates.
For minds who keep
silent when winds
orchestrate tales.
I long for weeping willows
which don’t cry, when
branches shed leaves.
And green meadows
in blossom idling time,
before ours runs out.
I long for fresh bread
without watching games
at the Colosseum.
And cool spring water
splashing my face to wake
what’s left of the day ...
