sometimes i am a lonely little poem

sometimes I am a lonely little poem

sometimes i am a lonely little poem
that no one reads
and i fall into a heap
in the bottom of a bird cage

sometimes i grow wings.

silly little man

you silly little man
how you grovel at my feet!
adore my image
while you bury your loved ones
in the pyramid of your desire,
do not try to buy my favors
with your shiny little prayers
do not walk on water
and sell your soul,
don't torment yourself
with words that will never come to you,
I am no bride
to lie down by your side,
I am a poem,
your hard-hearted lover.

softly

when the dead of winter
falls
heavy on the ground
the silence of my being
mocks me with awareness
and the wind howls
with delight,
a New Year will enter
another page of history
and softly will end
this night.
