Kubes
Burning Daylight

In the corner of the world, where
the winds donıt blow, Life begins there.
From the river a thirst can be quenched. The winds
donıt blow but the voice is a breeze that cools
the fever of a lost soul.
Some say the river flows for a million miles
only because they fear to swim in it.
They fear to drown,
but to drown within is to live eternally.


The breeze strokes a name across the sky's cheek.
Only the cold night interprets
desireıs heat, and the voice is the night.
Crisp, baby blue
night.
Colorless dreams find courage when they flow,
deaf songs carry miraculous choirs of prayer
underwater,
where they flow:


"Life is there, under the river.
The sun shines there, under the river.
The Moon cries out of beautyıs envy
that has become the silent screams of love's
lost lullaby.
The silent screams give hope for the dying
desert man,
wandering on the wasted
hopes of lost, cracked dreams,
that are now drying
in the dry sponge of a heart
still blasted
but alive
in that corner of the bliss,
not with false dreams,
but with the breeze that calls
a name,
not his,
but a name nonetheless.
Hell go there without cease,
hoping he falls."


Life will be found there, in the river
as it flows injecting the mountains, penetrating
the valleys, spilling over on plants like pollen.
Life will be found there, where everyone fears
to drown.
Life will be found there, enveloped
in the cloud's tongue,
and the story will be told when the sky's ardor
pushes the stars to make love and cry.
