Eagle

...In one of my visions
I saw an eagle flying through a huge city full of skyscrapers
and sharing his secrets of the future,
but by the time I started painting the image,
I could no longer remember his words...

- Akiane

Bald

bald and indifferent events pass
dissolving hearing

i squeeze a tune from a bald piano
a cracked coffin

and pick up
my scratched laurels

yet still I do not know
where to turn

fishing on an old bridge
i view the city lights

there everyone is too busy
to see a bald eagle land and share his secrets

we talk until I fall asleep
on his back

i wake up awaking the eaglets
and make a nest for their warm and bald wings
