The missing hour

Here I awake
missing it, 
long days clear up after the short nights
where are you? 
and 
How far can I see ? 

The words we once mentioned
articulated now by the forgotten time
there is not remorse on this but love,
a sort of life we once thought will never be match 
and it is,
and will never be,

There in front of us the empty crater, 
pure as it was when we arrived, as it will be childish to say
we affected its nature,
its shape 
its location,

It has been lifted and far from modification,
is now full of stories 
perhaps one day to mention but not today,

There is a missing hour and a missing word 
that do not match the time 
nor our existence, 

Almost by distance, -lets say that- our geometry is peculiar
Almost by distance, -we can say then- 
or even now, 
we came undone and early.

Distress garden

This complexity 
the surface of the others and the exterior lines of our home,
all bright as a whole and within the infinite self of the universe
 mix up with a drink in front if a mirror
the colorful drink and the pain 
our pain ! 
some how and some dude around the corner just pee on our tree 
the tree we care so much last summer 
last fall and last winter for
here we are taking it away in a multicolor jacket 
just for two 
like the last time I saw you and you were mine 
you have always being mine but we were to shy to admitted 
...in this garden of distress some secret and some dude again 
we don't care ! 
as we did already fucking much...
Again, 
In this garden of distress love.
and savoring better that word 
I tell you again
love.
