poem

wind and rain

the forecast was right

people walk faster 

on this day in May

the lilac is shaken

much more

is shaken

you know 

what I think about

and birds hide

for good reason

poem

again life in this river

along its banks

then polluted

in an unacceptable way

now the address "Sir"

as if nothing

had happened

but there is

the willow's 

knowledge

after the spring rain

these ambitious plants

with all their plans

news about war ships

and here the smell of

these white flowers

of the hawthorn

these competitive crows

a drought in spring 

it's said hope remained 

in Pandora's box
