THE POEM OF THE MONTH


ECLIPSE


You and me

Two palms trees sowed on the beach

Wrapped up in this charming of reggae

That shake our nakedness

And stick me to your body of waving woman

To this unexpected cold

Of the darkness covering the Earth.


While the Moon and the Sun

Consummating its fleeting marriage

Over the bed of the sky

My upright pole

Will find your sand's well

And for 3 minutes and 56 seconds

I'll wave you like a Love flag.


Through this ephemeral night

Life will be stiff and expecting

With its open eyes

Sensing our throb in the obscurity.


You and me

Melted

Like a sole shadow...
