NATALITY
​

​Every baby is born to greatness
there is a stainless beauty
installed in a clean heart
love and tolerance
wired into the soul
 
The Latin Vulgate
an icon of purpose
imbues and cicerones
 the steady hand
of a mother and father
 
Lost in luminescent daylight
and memories of thermal water
to what end
humanity awaits
its glorious creation
 
 
 

SNOW
​

​Today everything is wrinkled
They are the mushrooms,strawberries,
Abstract,
Of an endless canvas.
 
But last night
Really deceived. Snow on a blanket-like
Married schizophrenic camouflage
Cold kisses and delicate erasing
The dust of compassion, dwindling
With care of the seed to rescue and touch
Post a song. Life woke up, emphasized
Grown to the peak of affirmation and
Coldness, within their souls.
 
Morning snow from a lazy sky
Artificial replacement,
Slowly falling,
In the resistance of loss.
 
 

​DREAM CABIN

​Alienated defective existentialist
binary in utterances
 
a linguistic rupture
rains letters down
 
the realms of
imagination in the
 
search of ourselves
within the painted faces.
 
Amidst empty expanses
we find you.
 
the night brings
a wake sleep
 
revolution and dreams
erased in daylight.
 
Will any of
these name you?

QUIETUS
​

​Sun slants fractured in the mist
Pharmaceutical rivers
Discharge in your blood
 
Never finding yourself
in the sexless rapture
and wilderness of the soul
 
A cry announcing
you were not made for this world
professing you were needed in mine.
