Sleepy Hours

Flickering between
The realms of light and shadow

(2013)

Closer than ever before

Tiny flashing lights Figures entwine together Closer and closer ‘closer than ever’ they say Beside our computer screens

Audio-Connection

A midst cold classrooms Seemingly short dialect Audio-connect Slowly frozen hearts will drip As conversations bubble
Brother

Ask me who he is A tall tree and branches keen words drop; leaves shaken I try to collect them all But forget them by the stream
