Colorful As Ever
Theres no supervision, no control, the dead will be
spared
all this sweat. Afterwards therell be a foggy
morning again, merciful grasses will sprout
wild roots, the smell of the apple colorful
as ever, parrots screeching in uncontrollable anger,
an eternal forests darkness, amazing butterflies
masquerading
as leaves, secrets of the pleasure that will suddenly
come again
will rouse and arouse me until I no longer desire
and awake from my sleep.
