there is nothing in life
like love
it is the reason for
breathing
for closing & opening
the eyes
for having a body.
It is the earth’s sky
tree’s root
bird’s flight
mountain’s
thunder.
the umbilical cry
seeking its
mother.
why do i have this
trembling heart
in an ocean of
blood-red
wanting?
i am nothing without
a woman in my life
but an empty cipher
looking for a
woman.
