The ride.

How it fills me
The word,
The abrupt but definite,
Irreversible awareness
Of death.
A lot like death itself
Not flaunt but proud
A thought I
Inwardly wear
To adorn my soul.
Truly,
How will I feel
Facing death
The way I face my
Breakfast ,
Every morning
Unarmed and resigned.
 
 

Death grows from a word
Blooming on the tips
Of my fingers
Firm breast buds
Of what I could
Have done.

Late at night.

 
Slowly fill the room
Those gently pouring sounds
That seed little joys.

I do dream of love
As a part time job,
Maybe, escaping
A dialectical overdose.
But I know of the day,
So I wait.
My sense of duty
Twirling in a sufi dance.
The unrest [...]

Long live the internet for making us connect with so many people (though often the wrong ones),
for making us live like cadavers in our own homes, for making us live (already) as a memory in our children`s minds ,
for giving us the chance to flirt at any possible moment of the day or night.

Winter light.

The dancer sleeps.
Through my fingers
And the air,
Mute, extends my chest.
More than the lack of change
Its expectation hurts.
Meanwhile
little words
Sprout, under
theatrical lights.
 
 
For some reason
I remember
Softly burning wood
While the storm
Uncynically persists,
Outside
And I am little again
Wondering who will
My husband be.
