Life could have been simple
just to live and then to die
what makes it hard is
to love and then to leave...
...
Can’t wait to die in your garden
when the cherry tree greets me
with all its branches wide open
just to hug me at the full moon.
...
Snow up to my knees in Michigan
who would notice do you suppose?
my longing for you / o my pal
Istanbul / flows inflamed in cold
...
Words
I don't need more words
to chant your name
in your absence...
I forget all words
when you arrive...
