without shadows

sometimes there is a need to take away even the shadow
you need to run so fast
if your voice of oh comes after you on top of it
run
run
run after taking a breath
the love calling hey
does not wait since it has no shadows

poetry does not wait
it waves around the fragrance in your hair
in the shadowless nights

hours do not wait
minutes
seconds
it has no shadows
it has your voice heard by poetry and love
putting on its red boots
running
towards 2012, 2013
it is a shadowless moment
screams
oh those odorless screams
they cover them with a floral headscarf
they are green mostly even though the screams don’t want it
they lament and poeticize
for the shadowless screams
screaming shadowless ones

love waits anyway for the pursuit of a shadow
its voice
its fragrance
its breath
its morning
its sunset
the shadows it dreams
among millions of people
being dead sure which one is the right one
