I watch a butterfly swing by the frangipani
No human is just human. Even the mosquitoes
Here dream as they bite. We discuss where
To go for dinner. No memory sheathes its object tight
The sun drops low then fades out, the lanterns sway
No one can say-now, the banana flower, the gin on ice
No joy is without gaudiness, no murderer lacks a name
I dream my mother’s missing. Nothing could make time
go by without newspapers and screams
and yet I can always find a way to say:
I mourn for it because it used to be my life.
