Black Angel
A Piece of thin ribbon
Sizzling sunlight
Entered as a snake through the window
And bite my leg
A dagger is pushed
Into the skin— I wake up
Hot summer noon
Ornamental plants in the tub panting
They have just finished
100 meters sprint
Bituminous desolate road crying like kids
Getting cell message from a cricket
I went to the veranda
Deep dark cloud
Blissful north-west sky
I love you— my black angel
