The Sign

The Sign

Drop by drop

My brain

Assimilates rain

Second by second

This sunset falls

Into void

Love by love

My life

Pass by

To do what?

Not a single clue

Nor a sign

54

54

Like a big brown butterfly

A fragile winged falcon

Fly away

This slow afternoon

That dies behind

A curtain of far high rain

My name is Li Tao Po
I’m writing this

Today Saturday, August 23, 2014

To my brother Edgar

Happy birthday

My friend

May this multiverse

Have enough time

For you and me

Happily fish

Tucunares

Some day again

VABM 

Aquatic world

Aquatic world

Passing through me

Clouds bring moisture

To this thirsty world

Rivers take it away

To the sea

-I really do hope so

Not a single drink

Can bring me

This thirsty Saturday morning

The sense of love

Like a round woman

I did know

Heavy with feelings

About cubs & dugouts

Hubs& sons

Her multiverse

Plagued with wormholes

Ending back in this world

And the hand of

A beloved boy

I’m the guilty author

But I’m like the Greek guy

Of the Odysseus movie

-I did see it three times

No matter where you going

O where you come from

At all

It’s just Curiosity

What matters the most

When sun goes up

Clouds are making round hats

Like H-Bombs

Above mountain tops

While I’m writing this

This thirsty Saturday

Far away from the known God

Rainy Saturday

Rainy Saturday

Farmers and children know

To do what the rain is good for

But I don’t know

I’m trapped by the rain

Alone in my house

Can’t go out to the side of my dame

Please milky sky

Take out your clouds

Out of the city to the farms

Because I’m too old now

To take a shower in the rain

To play games with water again

Because the rain over this town

Is so redundant

As it is over the ocean

And as wasted and useless

As this stupid “poem”

And a tear in the fields of war
