a list of things to see

1.
lines of people
oblivious to the fire
inside themselves

2.
footpaths once trodden
by heels of revolution

3.
summer skies
without light

4.
boxes painted
with household garbage

5.
a language that sounds
the way it is spelt

6.
the space right in front
of you
that is eternally dissapearing
behind.

the way things fit together

they set fire
to the ships in the sky

and brought
to our bedsides
delicate beverages
to calm us.

a sick feeling
forming
in our stomachs

clutching
one-way
tickets

we take
photographs
of every cloud

passing,

a time-lapse immigration

that smears seconds

across the equator.
