sunny days

a pair of denims
a cool cotton t-shirt shroud
sunburnt fantasies

pecking sunbaked fruit
the goldfinch and oriole
uncomplicated ..

' peace ' / HB - 7

in your own language
say peace to the assassin
peace to the victim

a flooded river
an overbridge to cross it
a work in progress ..

chaos .osi

chaos ~

galactic turmoil
there is no bigger chaos
adolescent dreams

a bad school report
the dining table ' trials'
and bitter desserts ..

[ incandescence / HB - 6



monochromatic
whispers of a blind man's dreams
soft incandescence

a dog helps the man
a blind man , crossing the road
incandescent touch ..

indurated

shining in the shops
hearts of indurated clay
come valentine's day


something is melting
the layers of hardened earth
a fragrance of rain ..

trembling / HB - 5


a wall collapses
hands tremble with disbelief
the berlin season

is this not winter
the memories brightly burn
a trembling stillness ..

wings

watch the butterfly
tell the flower, tell the wind
i talk with my wings

" mohammed ali
he floats like a butterfly
and stings like a bee "..

' electrifying ' / HB-4


a season of kites
tied to electric cables
a little kid's dream

see the kite floating
untethered , the string broken
kids run after it ..
