Naum as a point in time, much like Berryman’s Henry.

1.

In- between indifferent 

Drafts of wind

And restless strands of thought

Naum takes the plunge

Into a river of people

Jumps he, Naum does 

Rather well 

A noise-less topple.


2.


Naum folds time

Tucks it under his bed

To doze off again

 

He sleeps

He is always asleep. 


3.


Don’t prosecute me

Says he

Naum does

My only crime is I am 

Not myself these days.

Mr.Police man, he says

Leave me be.


4.


Now he runs

That man’s otta be crazy

No he dont run like crazy

Only a case in point 

A point in time

Running be his escape

Run Naum run.

Short poem

stale
smells the
facetiousness
sounds and seems too

time 
catches up
years line-up

the horse
gallops 
ahead.

delight

delight can be 
less-defined, even
formless and a little vague: 
something akin to a
damp rainy morning 
resembling the inner
world.
