When Winter leaves

Where the river stops breathing,
Where the ice keeps strange names,
I stand between «was» and «will be»,
I am silence.

The snow doesn't remember,
The fire doesn't warm,
The raven is silent at my hand,
I close what doesn't dare
To leave.

Let go
Of what no longer breathes.
Burn
What keeps you in darkness.
I am not death.
I am the end that is heard.
I am the winter,
That goes ...

Sacre du Printemps (Hymn to Elbit)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Rite

of Spring,

of Summer,

of Autumn,

of Winter,

Sacrificial victims,

Their innocence,

Beauty and Life

destroyed to appease

their God of War,

Elbit Rules OK!

You can never hold back spring

Half a dozen swallows

celebrate another safe return 

above the solar panels 

 

The drone of bees, of microlights,

and motorbikes haring

towards the hills 

 

Daffodils lose their glow

as early spring fades 

camellias shed crimson tears 

 

Lilies of the valley

glint like lost pearls

 

A rook seizes old leaves

in its seen-it-all beak 

and flaps back 

...
