  • The Clarity Of Silence

    The Clarity Of Silence

    From a series of poems written during my stay in Lapland.

    Lappi,  
    Lappi,  
    inexplicable,  
    endearing,  
    alluring,  
    merciless,
    stripping down sounds,  
    colours,  
    scents,  
    leaving so much space  
    to listen to myself.  
    Why do you take away  
    from my ordinary life  
    so much sense?  

    All my desires echo  
    in this vast emptiness.  
    I want your pale face  
    always with me,  
    in my mind,
    Lappi,
    Lappi,
    as a reminder  
    that what matters
    is not the rat race,
    so meaningless,
    but what is inside,  
    true,
    pristine.
  • Moonlit Meaninglessness

    Moonlit Meaninglessness

    It takes one glance
    up to the sky
    on a full‑moon night
    to realise

    that we mean nothing.

    Yet in constellations far away
    and in the tiniest snowy flakes
    there is a harmony
    we keep on crushing,

    nurturers of entropy.

    We’re only here for a while,
    without even knowing why,
    we should begin to unwind
    this tangled clew of lunacy,

    for you can’t buy eternity.
