Into the woods


Once upon a time
there was a boy

He looked into the woods
 For love and peace

The blue trees and the river wind swirled around him
The orange anthills at twilight and the bird songs in the morning
Made him gasp for love at afternoons

The full moon at two at night remembered him
of the consuming lights at his home

He thought about his mother, who used to feed him
after meeting several men

He thought about the girl who quenched her thirst
lying on his top with arms wide open

She flew on him into the blue and her dreams every Saturday

His footsteps on the dried leaves created a hullabaloo
when he searched for food amidst the commotion of the woods

The sweat on his neck and forehead
and the smell from the dampness of his underarms
aroused him

He longed for a fond embrace under a tree
Which spread out its tentacles deep into his mind on hot afternoons

The blue moon waited for him
Peace came to him at six in the evening
for some moments.
