softly… in wingless dream
for Elizabeth
darkness unfolds its starry wings
and flies away with a nameless world
---Erik Lindegren
once upon my dream
i touched you.
your eyes gave me
both ends of a rainbow.
in the early dawn wind
i felt your abandonment
nowhere was warm…
memory remains
hiding behind
your smile
