13.8.00 on a bus somewhere
in Northern Croatia
almost full moon over Croatia
you are looking out onto an
orange ocean there are loved
ones in disguise of seahorses
they blink in dreams and bring
you fresh cabbages they storm
several castles and call it a day
you are writing a letter to
your mother who lives in a
pigeon hole you may feed her
nibbles of corn in the courtyard
on a good day you have
forgotten that your life
is a handful of moments and that
one day you will join your
family tree in the great rotation
you look this up in a dictionary
and it says: begin here
you order a plate of buttons
and sew them to your sleeve the one
made from a flag that waved
from the chimney signaling your birth
you are dreaming again you wake
to find all your comforts
stolen you start over under
an alias and ask to be relocated
to the seaside
you pick mushrooms and basil
you write a book you
staple all your spare minutes inside.
