Eugene Issaus Poems

I. Long Wind

Long wind in the empty corridor
silence, but not quiet at all
...

A swirl of colours.
A blue ship attacking a green ship
A red ship sinking
The green ship can hardly stand
...

If face is a mask, I'll tear it down
and smash it, and burn it into ashes
till it disappear in front of me forever
Only if shame can go away with the face
...

Cold breezes from the windows
when I sit and stare
the book flip open
the words begin to fuse
...

The white truck didn’t run me over
on the day before yesterday
while I was crossing a main road
in quite a broken state.
...

There was not a single star in the sky
which was attentive, or even at its place
The white wolf was weary, it slacked its legs
The black wolf howled through the space—
...

Almost more silent than ever
Eugene slipped back into the corner
Observing at a defending distance
when several fellows gathered around **.
...

I beg for love, and people give me their glances.
...

I’ve got a character inside me
she has the same age as I—
she is the captive inside my heart
...
