1.

At 5 am there is no song
in the black window.
The stage before the performance
and after.

2.

I want to translate
the cardinal
again,
give his tweets
a crimson feel.

3.

When I wrote
the famous poet,
she did not answer.

4.

What are you
afraid of,
someone
will recognize
your cowardice?

5.

The most difficult
dream
is the one you
believe in.

6.

Forget it,
forget.

7.

I want to be
the mockingbird
that can sing
any song
like the opera diva
who sings musicals
and once on the sidewalk
hip hop.

8.

More of this
tomorrow
when the cardinal
quicks the apple blossoms.

9.

Too early
for love songs.
