Dream

How fervently I desire

To touch the star

And steal

A gram of its silver

To mingle in my blood.

I want to give birth

To a heavenly child

Who is to be embedded in me 

A child of far-off shores

Of dark starry night.

I want it to touch me

Like the sun’s first rays

Kiss the surface of the earth

That pours golden heat

Into those secret seeds

Buried

Hurried to sprout.

I want to hear songs

Of magnificent germination

Yet unsung

Within this womb.

For me it would bring

Sleep by the eyeful

Dreams endless

And death

Studded with pride.
