Tony Berbechinie Poems

As the sky is tucked away, kissed goodnight
I awaken
Awakened by the duty I must preform
In day I am calm
...

Starting as a drop
Forming into a trickle and
Now I stand astounded, awed by the works before me
A stream nerveless, tumbling down, horses of the water
...

Long have I sought
Long have I been denied
Standing in the shadow of shame
I have no where to go
...

Is it man’s fate
To be in a continual hate
Is it our nature
To be just a creature
...

Older than your father’s have been told
Leathery backsides have sat
In my shadow-long strands of my beard plucked by children
I do not care
...
