***[Öö süütab kastanil küünlad]

Öö süütab kastanil küünlad
õhk laulab väljamõeldud keeles

avatud aknast tuleb õnnepuhanguna teadmine
et ses öös on ühekorraga
puhkend õide
me mõlema silmade iirised

ma mõtlen sinustki vist
väljamõeldud keeles
sest kõik tiheneb mu ümber
ja saab üheks sõnaks
mida ma ei tunne
ega suuda välja öelda
