drooping eyelids
the moon
looks smaller now
crossing the mirror
the gait
of a confused ant
on the lake
a ripple
spreads
behold!
the blue tides
breathing.
a leaf
speaks to the dewdrops,
"will you stop spitting?"
starless
a firefly floats.
a leaf
chasing the currents
of a flooded river.
Mr. Poet,
what madness drove you to believe
you can hold the stars?
little leaf,
what made you tremble
without the wind?
one more step
a snail
on a dunghill.
silence
on your moving
lips.
bobbing
over blue waters
distant boat.
