by chopping timeline year by year
this fragment at my hand
newest among those years
enjoy my dear happy new year!
——————–
pine needles
blocking rays of hope
your eyebrows
……………………………………………………
old house in the new year
wearing green clothes
moss on the wall
——————————
her eyes – an inn
sun lives for day moon at night
no place for me
——————————
pine needles
under discussions—
who is whispering in the chilling wind
——————————
to whom I trust on
while tying a tie knot
under my shirt collar
by my wife
I used to feel insecure
in those early years
of my married life
since I did not know her
well enough
while tying the same tie knot
under my shirt collar
by my wife’s hands
nowadays too
I feel insecure
as I do know very well
what is going within her
after passing those long years
with desperate living
and,
tying a tie knot
under my shirt collar
in those very early years
by my girlfriend
I used to feel secure,
since I was in love with her
but in my imagination
if I give her
to tie the same tie knot
in these days
I may also feel insecure
since I can guess
what is going
right now with her too.
were that girlfriend
and wife,
the same person?
and, to whom more
I trust on?
