Contemporary Poetry
“
The pale blue evening light of fading shadows crashes violently against the hill behind the town—facing radical orange and poisoned greens. It steams upward against a bluish sky that has swallowed every cloud in this modern summer May.

“
The streets are still there,
coloured by dark music,
and the crumbling roofs
beneath which lives flow
full of northern winds.
My shadow is still there too:
light as a girl’s dream
of hazel-coloured eyes,
heavy as a woman’s step
towards the execution ground of the past.
In the embrace of eternal November
this city has gone blind from silence
that resembles last year’s snow,
and, pacing in place,
it waits in vain for May,
killed by the hand of a friend
from some other, warmer life.
