That night one who looked up like a man
Is another person
Totally unknown
Hairs, beards- from top to bottom- a gypsy
Or a creature from different planet
That night is a different primitive darkness
That night
You slept for long hours.
When you woke up at dawn
You couldn’t recognize
You cried out loud,
The embracing Earth
Drowned with typhoon
Before your eyes
When I carried you to the shore of safety,
And planted one night’s affection on your chin.
That was totally a different night!
