To the gone summer

"It's just slow days, running into slow nights."
- C. Bukowski


Sun encages everything in its own existence
Look through the window on a sunny afternoon
And everything will seem to be dead.
Even if it winds, the trees just go
Back and forth back and forth
The leaves on the ground slip a bit
And then stop.
The cars, if they exist, are going
Exactly where they should go
At the predicted speed
There’s no freedom
No surprising movement
No inner nor outer life
People are just slowly getting crazy
With their dull tries to kill boredom
While sweat drips from their foreheads
And nothing really happens

Brain's chain

When you really fall in love
It feels like lethargy
Your heart beats your conscience away
And everything is done
In praise of her
You could kill, die
Or live for her

Even knowing that she’d never
Ask you such a thing
You can’t help thinking
That you’re not yours anymore

Which is painfully beautiful
Cause it’s wide and pure
Human nature.
Slavery to our own ego.

Always seeking for words
That amuse us and when
They’re finally found
We could kill, die
Or live for it.
We are nothing
But weak.
