Esmesaida

8 AM in the office
the sweet bread
and jam
are the final flavors
of the week
twelve hours of travel
onto another planet
of blue waters
salty ham
and tomato water
on grainy sand-colored bread
drop me
in the middle
of the Mediterranean
held breath
deep down into the waters
hands push back
loads of water
deeper in
lungs
fill
and release
in a quick
ascent
breaking the sun lanced
surface
the rock
walls
encompass me

leftovers

I suppressed
and oppressed
what was inside
for six months
even longer
for you
and now that I have
stopped
I am a geyser
gushing
The power
of the flow
is unstoppable

august

You come around like
The high low chorus of secadas
In august
Their bouncy buzzing
Rises in intensity
Its melody leaves an imprint
In the silence
Replaced by the wind of nightfall
That blow the strands of hair
From my face
You are like the promise of summer
the adrenalin of a cliff jump
And the fear of an untouched
mountain peak
In solitude I guide myself
Towards you
I miss you like a vivid dream I can't remember

I'm back

sometimes
i am so overwhelmed
i want a chocolate icecream
