From My Journal: Sunset, Etc

:1/09/2001

"I love sunset," you said

I hear hopes 
and the whole lot on my dining table 
while chewing breakfast 
I sing my childhood songs

before sun is erased by night hands
my mother turn on all  the lamp-eyes 
in the kitchen, verandah and guest room 
she does really afraid of the past 
which is waiting in the dark

sunset like orange juice tear from your glass 
and the night is its stains in table-cloth 

I come here try to find the pieces of glass 
that fall crash the white café floor;
glass that ever touch your lips, 
glass that ever kiss your lips,

sunset enlighten 
swallow bird shadow 
fall on the sky shadow 
in puddle of your tears 

on the carpet of sands 
no more your shadow 
on top of my shadow

since sunset o’clock 
there is me in waiting room 
in my hands pages of a novel 
open someone's affairs 

night who come late
don’t bring any train 
that bring you

Mountain of Saraung,
umbrella of a village 
sun crawls too hard 
come to the windows 

on a couple of lover 
who is cursed to be a wall-stone 
I see there is no sunset
