FULL MOON ON TOP OF A CHAMPAGNE PALM'S TIP

outside
is when you open a window
to see another world
you walk down the stairs
open a door and
step upon
the pebbles
mud and the grass

slowly you will change
beliefs
make another conclusion
and question
how can narrowness
of the alleys
and the foul smell of
of an abused water of the river
can be too destructive to
the world
you love?

outside is the crowd
of the action
the multiplicity of choices
the variations of time
the multitude
that make you question
what is this all
about somehow

there is public park
an empty bench under a
mahogany tree
and you situate yourself
for a more
pondering

now you begin to live again
setting aside
that wish for death
