    Children of the Sky

    We exist
    among beggars and whores,
    the clairvoyant of the past
    and the historians of the future.
    We follow
    their traces of stench and lavender,
    their shadows hovered by pity
    and stalked by lusts.
    We hear
    their woes and words
    muted by coins and begging cans
    and shouts and slaps from pimps.
    We see
    what their eyes deprive them:
    the crowd in the streets
    and the leafless trees.
    We watch
    how they sit on the concrete bench
    and eat the leftovers in their bags
    or how they probe the dusk.
    We exist
    to count and catch their tears,
    to turn them into pearls
    and the saddest ones into rain.
