DISTANCE

And one day In the distance Distance will no longer exist And we’ll be united And it won’t require disuniting other voices And one day That eternal day, the day before creation When we were all one, that effervescent unity Which we were, unity awaiting dispersal That day which is already within us, which we already know That day which guides us through trees, branches and rhymes Like a distant light we don’t recognize as our beacon That day is already within me It’s already within you.

IF THEY COME LOOKING FOR ME

Say
The soil was damp And my shoes were calling me for a walk Backwards With slow Steps

Say The sea was serene And the small waves Were escaping the beach

Say That the sun was full of lovely Spots That the moon was empty That the soil my ancestors Trod for centuries Was buried underground And wept my absence.
