WHEN YOU CALL ME TO SUNSIDE
\nI AM SUNNY TOWARDS YOU.
\n
\nNOSTALGIA 6<\/b> <\/p>\n
TATTOOS ON HIS ARMS\u2026 <\/p>\n
Tattoos had paled on his arms<\/p>\n
His mustaches had whitened thinly scattered<\/p>\n
He was shutting his eyes<\/p>\n
For he was not allowed to see<\/p>\n
I ask him where the sea was<\/p>\n
He pointed to walls.<\/p>\n
I asked for pharos<\/p>\n
He was content with neon lights.<\/p>\n
I inquired about his hands<\/p>\n
He spoke of autumn.<\/p>\n
I talked about storm<\/p>\n
He pointed to shipwrecked<\/p>\n
Which were stranded at the coastal piers.<\/p>\n
The tired sailor of waters<\/p>\n
Had settled at the wilderness. <\/p>\n

\nNOSTALGIA 9 <\/b><\/p>\n
WHEN I RETURN HOME\u2026 <\/p>\n
When I return home<\/p>\n
Mother expects me<\/p>\n
She stands with water, mirror and sacred book<\/p>\n
At doorstep<\/p>\n
And father<\/p>\n
Has gone for expedition many years ago<\/p>\n
My sisters and brothers have migrated elsewhere<\/p>\n
Many years ago<\/p>\n
And your sisters<\/p>\n
And brothers<\/p>\n
Have escaped the songs of their homeland<\/p>\n
And our neighbors<\/p>\n
Are sleeping at the bridal chambers<\/p>\n
Of the crossroads<\/p>\n
The town is thus<\/p>\n
Adorned<\/p>\n
With silence and death<\/p>\n
When<\/p>\n
You return home<\/p>\n
Alone. <\/p>\n
