Dream Time: Shisan
rain at dawn stills the song of cicadas... my dream continues tm in paradise... I find it difficult to open my eyes sv a street musician lost in the Elysian Fields, his hat full of coins tm *** the square fountain reflects the neon lights tm passing slowly through the fluffy clouds autumn moon sv shadows of ripe citrons precisely on the sidewalk tm *** the eyes of the Buddha over the suspension bridge one toe at a time sv in the frosty store window a pearly necklace for her tm from the immense sky sinking into nothingness this lonesome night sv *** the contour of a traveler seeking inner peace sv floating swallows cherry blossoms drift in the same direction tm a bunny's nose deep in the grass, the blazing sun sv   Saša Važić, Serbia Tomislav Maretić, Croatia
