his termination
the staff asks boss
where he should go next
his secretary's name
in his sleep
wife wakes him up with a slap
she throws
son's black cat out
her paths
she casts
three lines over world
the dream to bring it closer
winter pond
i walk on to touch
the trapped bough
it's a blessing
getting to know you
you lift the world's curtain
helping me see the
five billion worlds encased within
mist
the clink of
next-door gate
spike fencing -
a shrivelled leaf
pierced right through
soccer match
the balls swirling
between the legs
wedding -
the only contract that binds
two bodies together
crowded elevator -
all the perfumes that suddenly
turn fetid
remembering his
first complaint - the baby's
kick in the womb
a flock of ducks
quacking, flapping, waddling
partying in a rainstorm lake
tying auntie's hair
round the bed grills for stealing
to the late movie
catching up
a child runs with his little
underpant in his feet
his cool and fresh breath
musculine frame
on these frigid nights
drive me to deep pits
of insecurity, agony
