I praise you in the midst of a troubled epoch.
While praising conjures upon loving.
And loving settles upon thirst.
I praise you in the midst
...
As the sunbeam hits your face.
As too many breaths hidden behind a bus seat.
As a glance through the bus window
in early mornings of border control.
...
You with the rising star on your forehead,
where have you been all along the way?
Crouching on boulevards of stomped redemption,
inhaling nuances of lost causes,
...
Little Venus told me that there's nothing to say.
Only a marble brick with names engraved to stay.
And watch over towers of longing with deep regrets.
Placing lame excuses for generations up front.
...
