1.
the trees burned secretly
scorched infinite leaps of scars
and skin cinders,
the metal of eyes
not seeing
blindfolded children learning how to spell
the green spirits of leaves forgotten
infinite lips sealed in miseries
alphabet of wonders never guessed,
the burning trees blinding the scent of heavens
ashes miracles black holes
the spirit of trees
stult mirages our days, unnatural,
the instinct of trees growing in flames
guessing eternity…

camphor cinnamon myrrh
spider fabriquing silk web’s atom’s mazes
grass growing gently whispering violet blues
stone starring sculpture diaries
churches chewing chaps in hopeless devotions
windows wondering behind closed shutters
voices volcanoes dormant viperine vespers
in anger of silent sorrow:
i see the wheels spiraling into oblivion
roads to nowhere but names of sites,
camphor signals oboes of directions:
i see them going hallucinated
the young men of my age
to places
of dark ecstasy cellars, no-where to hide:
i see the wheels of despair on their hands
holding chords and tears, knowing nothing i forecast those aren’t my hands:
my music belongs to another within atmosphere,
solitude my music, steel cathedrals of silence,
stone vitriol turmoil
wind distorted sky.
I am a whisper.

3.
deathlessness adventuring
the exquisite twilight’s of your smiling:
clumsy disappearing secret.
ecstatically prodigious appetite
the mystery of a blasting truth,
illimitable tender man
of tinted twitching happiness
monstering terror of lust devours,
shrug your shoulders,
implode that cage
[melancholy]
and forget
daffodils die, seek, comprehend
the unbelievable:
coerce your delusions
convicted of one’s generosities;
just long for timeless adventure
to love, exquisite sea
cocoon of stranded stars
ecstatically mystery beloved man.
Track Name: asobi (5) {edit}

true
brave
love’s always young
blossoming in divinities
we invent.
love’s the laziest of knowledges
keen on touch
amazing blue gladness
star growing
falling bloodless,
generous love
intricate perfume
noble fearless unknowingness
spontaneous little doom,
serpent ecstatically prodigious (as well)
swelling melancholy
seeking timelessness
adventuring touches
souls of sizeless discoveries:
true and brave young
always
love.
Track Name: asobi (6)
6.
a fable against gravity:
i refuse anger, violence, jealousy;
i jump whistling and dancing
on the dilemma of flowers,
i am the minstrel in a chariot
[the fool] pleasant warrior
innocent scarlet king
holy trumpet in my ankles
incense of philosophers
boy incomparable lover of heart’s spirit
uttering silences
sailing carefully threads
and thighs
stroking the trembling arms
sweetly kissing smooth
substantial fireworks;
emphatically protest against dullness
i believe in sweet melancholy
of laughter, i commit myself
to my gestures’ forgotten syntax, [poetry]
i indulge in inexcusable ribbons
splendiferous (auspicious) voices
of angels.
