The Deserter by hiromi suzuki

Roses in desert;

Blossoms colored in yellow, red, orange

Have thick stems such as tree trunks

Thorns like the knives hidden in a dry well

Deserter with bird cage in his hand;

There is no choice to drink something but vodka

He is dreaming of catwalk show in fireworks

New Year celebrations throughout the world

The catwalk show models are roses;

Dresses made of chiffon, silk, organza

Rotate the beauties in kaleidoscope on runways

Mirror reflects the knives cutting off the flames

Words to spill out of roses' lips;

Petals colored with lithium, barium, strontium

The deserter empties the bird cage and his

Pocket full of sand     to

Fly   away      to

Free space
