Poetry Series (1)

We just talked, on the phone, yesterday.
You mumbled incoherencies...
Were you drunk?

Don't go yet!
Wait till sunset!
Maybe we could share that eternal moment
A few seconds.

Poetry, hardest of all arts,
Comes to me, comes to you:
Why is the sky blue?
Why do leaves fall?

Blood goes cold...
Like autumn wind.

Play the lute strings,
Play.

Ancient notes cry out.
Ancient languages of origin
Die.
