Sweetness in Salt
if there are any sweetness in salt, i shall have it (and at any cost)
 on my wounds. i refuse honey from bees and molasses in bread.
 for it does not contain the sweetness of sea
 or the bitterness in sugar.
 
 on my wounds
 it will heal without eyes
 (all
 alone)
 or a gentle touch that drains the ocean
 
 no gauze will hug a ticking metronome
 and this is my rhythm of introversion
 and a Kiwi will be he only one who understands my flightless ability.
 
 beyond this surface on which i lay is a bed of petals
 bathed in marine salts and not with natural extracts
 which are really intangible fingers
 that heal with touch and stings with stroke
 
 My wish is 
 (lost)
 in the savanna of (milky) stars.
