my run away desire
the devil asks me
to go out, to have fun
and above all - eat

this when i am
not at all hungry
in fact bloated
another day of routine

it is too early
for me
sometimes
noon is too early
for food

it is another day
the devil is drivng
at me with his
sharpened chisels

'no no no
i would rather be
in the clam
enamoured
in quiet
contemplation
in the realm
of God if that
is not too mushy
for your ears.'
i tell the devil

'every of my
prayers, ' i add
'the becomes
a layer of
luminous
rainbow lucre
to seize the day'

how nice it will
be, to be
a perfect pearl
rolling around
someone's heart
listening to her
secret wishes
and help layer
her dream
and goals
with perfect
poise, grace
and confidence
round the clock!

rolling and
dangling round
someone's heart
and be a perfect
companion of graces
round the clock!
