Clandestine

 

 

In the hollow  

Of a silver wave,

Young bodies

Run aground,

 

Dreams,

Froth smuggler,

Between your continents

 

The sea

Has its backwash,

 

Beyond

Its new clandestine borders

 

The sea

Has disastrous appointments.

 

 

 

Homage to Aung San Suu Kyi:

Orchid

 

 

At the seat of the Kings

An orchid

Dances its night

 

In the street the voices

Of the cuckoo of the crane

And the peacock

Are tinkling

 

Charged with emotion

The harp disguises

The goat, the cow, the horse

And the elephant

 

At the bestiary of the Kings

An orchid

Languishes the day
