UNINVITED GUESTS
My kingfisher of spring
You loiter calmly
Your live azure against the thriving green on the tree-top
The benevolent mother sends a companion
Together you sit
Filling my horizon with bliss...
Motherless
Cunning black-and-white meandering in semi-darkness
You kindle the mother in me
Tiny muscles on the frail structure makes me want to feed you
Moved by instinct, you defend God knows what
You meow near me and run away
For the mother...
Grassy Guy
Bright brittle
My ladybird in shining armour
Measures the length of my leg
The grass-smell spreads all over
How the tiny legs support you!
What do you seek over the frame of my glasses?
On which intricate nerve do you feel the fear of my touch?
Why fear?
No one can imagine you harmed...
Lost Ant
You are a seeker
Grain, oil, sugar... It is easy to please you
But you have lost your way
To forget the smell of the clan
What a curse! Now you will wander the world looking for family
You hate the smell of my pillow, I can say
It's not what you want
Anger bites on my neck
Fingers can't be gentle enough
On broken legs, you go, destined to trail uncharted territories...
Butterfly of Night
Your four eyes (two real two fake) find the light
Silk spun around you withers near the electric wind
I envy your cocoon hermitage
The dazzling patterns of your wings
Oh! You are in company
Shine bright when your wings meet...
Snake on a Rainy Day
The fatal flood brought you out
Earthy hues and deadly rings
Crawled the ground
You bit the man, but whose poison is stronger?
He walks
You…
