  The Mongolian Yurt   

In the midnight
the skylight is crowded with stars
and, in the depths of forest
that sound of the wind, like rolled
green waves

In the midday  an open wood door, it
leads to the blue sky, white clouds
there, long songs never die like the steppes
and men never find it easy to say the word ‘I love you’
