Samples from his poems

To die in books

His name, last name
Open paranthesis
His year of birth, dash, his year of death, the end.
close paranthesis.

Now he's a name in books, surname
Within paranthesis his year of birth and death
Down at the bottom of the page, or just a little on
His works, when they were printed.
A list, short one or long.
The names of books.
Like birds in agony of death within your hand.

In the parantheses, a dash.
All that he was is there.
His hopes, his fears, his teas, his joys.
All that he was is there.
Now he remains inside these books
A prisoner in that dash.
Does he still live?
He can't fight back.
You can kill him, just there.
