Faraway

 Although I know

that the sparkling stars

are nothing but thermonuclear furnaces

Although I know

that behind a dream landscape

horror and misery often hide

When the moon

immense on the horizon appears

in the concave night sky

flooding this hazy valley

of multicolored light

I am moved

Will it be the mysterious plan

of an unknown god?

Will it be this selfish gene

eager for life?

Maybe I'm here

with my shadows

in the dead of night

immersed in relentless thoughts

Will it be 

terrible that it is

the only life I have?

Lost sunsets

 Occiduous sun

ancient reflex

of things lost at east

and never sought again

Another pointed the way

the great mountains

illusory ocean

But I went west

across the desert

A mess

of probable days

of possible futures

Knowledge

has not extinguished

the astonishment

At the end of the journey I saw

there was no direction

but only time

and the magic of words

Lost sunsets

in the glass of my window
