Sand Time

for Inga Repšytė

Cling
to sand that goes down
between busy lips,
demonstrating
that time is measured
by the absent body

Flight
Girl, you have wasted your time with the rules;
prisons have closed their doors
and you stayed in your flight.
Roses are not amulets for the night,
cells are inhabited by Sade
where the guards come to the feast of freedom.

Geographies
My recent geography of your body speaks
Of words trapped in your skin
Of ruins and old residents
But it ignores
The music of your nights with no fate
Your ignorance against any defeat
Your fear of snakes
And a moon that sails in your belly.

Testament
My port
Is a wave
And ghosts
Eat at my table.
And if your eyes shut down
On the edge of the blade
Open my house's door
And cling to the abyss.  

Instant
Two bodies
Plough the night
A flame
Hushes the fire.
