Hands

The world embraces him like a gift--

"Set him free," said the old stump,

Blurting out some precious oaths

The yellow-grayish wall is like a chopping board,

bringing the moist atmosphere from west


Is it all a dreamland?

We whisper intimately and

Our hands blend in silence.

We love his filthy hands,

his posture,

his forgiveness



These days, what do we call Love?

What do we call Ignorance?

How do we touch things?

What do we hold?

The moon, the full moon, the water?


No one knows our existence

Our hope is a storm that ceases in the sky

We refuse to know his real name;

We make predictions, take guesses

And feel sharp pains

In the end.
