Rivers Of Shades
Mikey Kania (Herald’s contributor from Germany )
the rivers of shades
provide water for the forgotten
ones
who have been isolated
from all living in order to
dance
you’ll find their silhouettes
behind curtains, in flickering, a
chance
for the living to look closer
in ice-packed letters forever
can’t
you give it all back to me?
i need me my caring, my huggings
don’t
stay away from me i wouldn’t cope
i would grab a thick robe but ya know
i won’t
everything counts no detachments
attachment: the rivers of shades approaching
us
we can’t get away from them they
are here now and they will stay
more
depictions of endlees loopholes
children adults and groups
into rivers of shades:
the last curtain
the last candle
the last silhouette
“we can’t get away from them”
you say looking at me but “no sweat
we’ll be good baby” i’m echoing as we
become a combination of wolf & lioness
from one unit into one fluid
liquid
last echoes voices and shades
but the rivers remain
but the rivers remain
