Poems from LEchols
There is a familiar I know
A spirit who smiles with no teeth
the gummy trance closing, opening, closing, opening
and
I
am
transfixed....
I don't close my eyes anymore
and "fall" in love.
Every step is measured and
taken slowly and
revised and edited and
that was a mistake...
You used to speak foreign words from a citizen mouth.
You stand before me, a refugee.
I've kissed those lips before, haven't I?
You are...
I think not of you,
nor anything you do.
as the sun turns another round,
and the stars continue to fall down,
as my heart beats loud and...
His Eyes.
From miles away they would be black.
They stare into
my soul with an
emptiness that I have
never seen before.
Black bottomless...
