The Day Raisiny

The day 

raisiny   silky   fair 

                 smiling

The luster of pearls hidden

                 under its petals

Depths the color of surma

                     the emotions calm

When you wake it’s like a dream waking

asking for someone ...

                       The silence of a toy

                        half awake

Isn’t this what you are, dear heart? 

____

And this lap

silky   fair      restless

                     For whom is it

                     restless

today?

____

                     Go

springtime

                     go. 

I turned my back long ago.

                     Don’t show me

any more dreams.

Though you are eternal

though life is eternal

                     even so

have mercy.
