Some words are seeds of newly harvested thoughts
we
donate them unconditionally and irreversibly
like
we do during Thanksgiving Day
for
loved ones or good friends.
Some
words are foreign devils and ghosts
that
come to us at three after midnight
crossing
the wall that separates two words
at
the time when it translucently dilutes.
Some
of them are innocent young children
who
temporarily lose their way home
in
the bushes of life – holding hands
dragging
each other through the unknown paths of life
uphill
and downhill.
But
some other words are young phoenixes
born
there, from the ashes
there,
where the fires of crushes and distractions
incinerated
everything
but
“flowerpetal”.
And
look how the wasteland between us
is
turning in to an efflorescence
together
we planted the young phoenixes in the
cold ashes
the
buds of the wings flourish in our eyes
and
you start calling me again
“flowerpetal”
