Below the silent bridge at dawn,on frozen gray cobble stone streets,cries a tiger tabby. It seems as distant as Mars but that's because you closed the window By Amaury

Done with work
Shaded apartments Flicker nervously As white lights Blink by the stairs Black, gray, white, black Black, gray, white, black Black, black, gray, black They tightly lace Hallways that lead To your sealed door It's been a long day You just want to be Swallowed wholeWhen you step in By Amaury Genao
You Left
and apparently in a hurry since you didn't finish your mealor even swallow your pills. Where was my reminder?A notification that you would not be coming upstairs for dinner. Why did you leave the house?Your breath exhausted by the exit;a brisk walk in the park taken alone. This long nap is a secret victorythat didn't … Continue reading You Left
EP: When Great Trees Fall by Maya Angelou
When great trees fall,rocks on distant hills shudder,lions hunker downin tall grasses,and even elephantslumber after safety. When great trees fallin forests,small things recoil into silence,their senseseroded beyond fear. When great souls die,the air around us becomeslight, rare, sterile.We breathe, briefly.Our eyes, briefly,see witha hurtful clarity.Our memory, suddenly sharpened,examines,gnaws on kind wordsunsaid,promised walksnever taken. Great souls … Continue reading EP: When Great Trees Fall by Maya Angelou

Leave me alone: listen as the … Continue reading EP: I’m Going to Sleep by Alfonsina Storni
Ep: America by Allen Ginsberg
America I’ve given you all and now I’m nothing.America two dollars and twentyseven cents January 17, 1956. I can’t stand my own mind.America when will we end the human war?Go fuck yourself with your atom bomb.I don’t feel good don’t bother me.I won’t write my poem till I’m in my right mind.America when will you be … Continue reading Ep: America by Allen Ginsberg
EP: Non-Commitment By Chinua Achebe
Hurrah! to them who do nothing see nothing feel nothing whose hearts are fitted with prudence like a diaphragm across womb’s beckoning doorway to bar the scandal of seminal rage. I’m told the owl too wears wisdom in a ring of defense round each vulnerable eye securing it fast against the darts of sight. Long … Continue reading EP: Non-Commitment By Chinua Achebe
EP: En El Camino By Norah Lange
En el camino hay un silencio de palabra imposible La tarde reza en ermita de fuego Sobre el despoblado hacen penitencia las sombras Las estrellas columpian la escalera por donde bajarán los ángeles a la tierra Mi vida se desangra gota a gota. La tarde es una sola lágrima … Continue reading EP: En El Camino By Norah Lange
