Eternal Spring

He doesn't smile anymore

because when he does

not long before sadness

comes like a flash flood

in the desert

and takes it away

Every time, everything he is,

every time he is happy

some one's head gets chopped

off or a goose or pigeon

gets kicked around

He doesn't smile anymore

until he gets a kiss

that awakens eternal spring

and summer
