A Vague Image Of Life

a vague image of life
against a shade
of daylight

outlines of motions
of arms
and hands
and naked
bodies
bathing in the river

a leap
of desire
certainly like a frog
from my belly

like some
butterflies
wanting to come
out from
my chest

like some
bees
hiding in the hive
of my mouth
wanting to swarm
to the trees
of life
to the nectar
of flowers

life wants to shine
for us to see
what life really is:

desire, ambition,
passion, love,
hope, faith

come to think of
it

what is vague
is actually
death always
lurking
in some
dark corners
