Silivester Kiik Poems
On all the prayers and vain
the lingering anxiety
taught the deciduous branches.
...
half a month passed
terminalia catappa leaves harden the lawn
worms rotting into it
like their love wasn't enough
...
In the late twilight
-the rain falls in drops
the streets are quiet with all the questions
some people still lead
...
Dried leaves roam freely
lying in the mosquito nets of aridity
starting to be disgusting and no longer morals
with ancestral messages stripped away by violent bars.
...
In my childhood home
my mum would bring me a jar of water
every time my tongue turned to the clouds.
...
: On a Silence and Tears
Your Holy Body hanging on a rough wooden cross,
is the symbol of my sins being washed away,
but until this event repeated itself,
...
Don't think; when the valley wind that wails on the ridge
drives the shivering leaflets from the trees
think that all is not over: the rainy season will come again
buds, leaves, and flowers you will see.
...
All day and night
I sincerely save words
that are slowly being lost to time.
...
i/
in every corner of the dry and foreign city
wild and silent-watching every word
that men talk about
...

The Best Poem Of Silivester Kiik
Haiku | Lonely Conversation
On the smooth edge of you
redrew moon
silence
then stab.
My soul was torn apart
should it complete
scream
and fall again.
You're missing
is a fruit of wounds
a hurt
not bloody.
You're no longer a way
difficult
to be mapped
silent.
