...

it is easy and will not stop when eyes are closed

will not stop when hands release

will begin each moment


-Lahmadaj

oh music

the only thing worth anything

a fortune not
in the man's hands

good thing

good thing it's here

otherwise
I'd not


-Lahmadaj

trade

it in
give it to someone else
they give him something to hold
take it
play with it for a while
decide to trade it for another
deliver it to someone
they hand him something
accept it
use it for some time
see something better
find someone to take it
they'll throw him the lot
gather it
keep it close for a moment
crave something more


-Lahmadaj

remember

the first in
gets the knife
the last day
look at his hands
covered
you can not see them
his turned toe
softy lying
the look in eyes
the last day
first in


-Lahmadaj

Glückwünsche

Christina and Michael

today they've been married

today i heard a song along the shore

the sound of winds and laughter

today my friend called me on his phone

included in the gathering

i smiled to think

could hear and see her face

the thick air to gently sway the fabric

a sun and spots of cloud

today they were married

today the force of dancing and singing

energy friends

and love

the sky unfolded

a clasp of hands

to kiss in the glinting breezes

in the shadow

the lines are smooth and soft

the ground is cool

tilted grass and crushed seed

the lover's hand

proud to be

green cloud and run water

the long stretch of mindlessness

a freedom and dancing

-Lahmadaj
