I want
to be nobody for now
watch the sky
turn colors
while sipping tea
then somebody
pops in again
and screams for more
haven’t got much time left
gotta gotta gotta
what’s the hurry
let the breeze catch me
why
rush
destiny
re-arranging
pieces of my mind
while
the wind echos
centuries
catch
moments
before
they
fall…
