Might be a bird passing over
might be a moment of silence
might be the sun in hiding
might be winter hasn't
passed
might be a corner here
might be someone approaching
might be voices time and silence by itself
might be the full moon dilating night's
pupil
might be nothing
adjacent angles of nothing
maybe just waste
might the time
dissolving itself
copper-colored leaves
waiting for blue
might be an ataxic
flower
might be december sky
might be quiet
caressing the silence
of staments
might be a real wind
anemones open to the sun
might be the flower is agave
might be fennel
meanwhile blue shines
might be only a lilac
bud
gnawed from within
might be the setting sun
Régis Bonvicino (born 1955) Brazil
