 Sanctuaries
There are
friendly sparrows,
I know by name.

Palm doves,
Resident,visiting
migrant birds.

Rare nightingales
and finches.

Even dark,
Gray and white Pigeons,
Who made my humble home,

Their sanctuaries.

They nest,
They reproduced!

In my calm corridors,
Behind sleepy flora,
Before ancient pergolas,

Over mighty domes
and old columns,
Made from sacred
wild trees.

They thrive,
They succeed.

But me ah!

Here I am.
Living
in my unfinished sanctuary.

Withering away
in my unfinished sanctuary.

With one million books!
Gadgets and PCs,
Pens and papers.

Spoiled sketches
of sanctuaries,

Soon I will make
at my rooftop.

I work,  
I sleep,
I hide,
I live,
I sleep,
I hide
in my unfinished sanctuary
at my rooftop.

When, in my large
and haunted villa.  
 
One thousand chambers
in her lower floors
are empty!

Open theaters
for sneaky ghosts
and lazy spiders.
 
Derelict,
Silent rooms,

They are
so very empty.
