THIRST
Billions of people divided
like grains of sand in the heat
of the endless desert
of loneliness.
Give me a drop of water
so that I bring two grains together
in an oasis
of friendship.
THE H5N1 MIGRATION
…and the pigeons were armed
with the atomic bomb
of the killer virus
of flu.
As always
the fate of humans
on the brink
of end.
