Desire

In a big courtyard
racing a small bicycle,
round and round,
a child of seven
doesn’t know
which part
of the world
he is in.

He doesn’t know
since when,
the huge, golden sphere
shining throughout
the dawn till dusk
is wandering across the
sky blue ground,hanging
upside down, above his head.

He doesn’t even know
from where does
suddenly the machine birds
appear, whizzing angrily
across the sky blue ground
and drop balls of fire
around his house

He only understands
this much,even after
so much being effaced
around him,he is the
only one left with
two legs,
one bicycle
and the desire to race it
fast,round and round,
race it fast
round and round.
