The Wind


The wind blew in our direction, shadows played

It is the eyes that lacked the answers, in the contrast

At the eye of it all I knew my borders when the sun blazed

The morning sun went quickly, the noon would soon come

There was wind in the hair, my thoughts fell into the skin

When everything happened nothing actually occurred.

Up there the cosmic egg flickered beyond the trees

The blue emitted golden rays in the silky clouds there

As if I could collect all that in my past canvas bags.

Yesterday morning a little bird shrieked on the wire

My garden was full of them and under them, below the wires

Meanwhile the loops continued endlessly in my mind

While the summer season seemed to be undecided

When the monsoon would begin in the salt water and hills

And journey across the mountains and windy coconuts.

My words are silly giggling girls playing in the moon

Together they do not sing but hum like the pipal leaves

When the wind comes from across the the distant hills.
