sesame shoulders

 a thousand goodbyes

1
i pick up a small sour apple
the pores of human skin germinate with sesame seeds
a man appears from the forehead of a giant creature

2
people walk along the endless country road
the surface of the eye lake looks like boiling tahini
chest pain causes sesame seeds' mouths to silently open and close

3
it rains inside a sour apple
people hide books and the wind
the woman disappears into the forest

4
the sour apple is on the dog's head
the dog walks around the well
the goat is resting at the bottom of the well

5
the bright light of the lion's mane dazzles the trees
dandelions with human faces get wet in the rain
eyes seek cold

6
cold waters sleep
fear for people turns into silence
sesame is inside the sour apple

7
you're talking about different kinds of fate
there are various ways to explain what is happening
people are sesame seeds hidden inside dandelion fluff

8
adults dance children's dances
the light inside the heart
dry tears sesame sour apple
