When The Black Clouds Forgot To Smile

written by: Bitupan Das

when the black clouds forgot to smile
hiding behind the veil of time
how can you buy the sky
with your dime

when the sun burned so bright
flooding your cold skin to fight
how can you buy the sky
with your dime

Shadows of New York by Francisco Bravo Cabrera

One day I sat and listened to the choirs of Babel.
It took me back to when I painted shadows in New York
which cast skyscrapers high above your garden.
And I wondered if an island, in the seas of nowhere,
would have served as shelter if our ship should sink.

Did a siren with her song lead you so far away from home,
and has that made you forget me?
Have you removed the old tattoos?
Did you forget the sailing trips?
Was it because Manhattan’s winds destroyed your jib?...
