Tiempo Profundo

 to my son, Tito 


A handful of sand in the angel's palm,
how often you strummed and sifted the metaphor 
of Long Beach (since you were four and rolled 
and unrolled and jotted down the specks of time 
as if you knew what was behind the flimsy skies
that threw your quantum song asunder).

Our hearts converge in the currents of this river, this river runs deep, as we both know, Ann. Thank you for your read and comment. It means a lot to me. Roxane

Thank you, Arturo! I write mainly in Spanish, but have a few poems - here and there - in the equally rich and beautiful English language. Your comment is encouraging. Roxane

Very nicely done. This has a soft and somber feel to it. I really enjoyed this.
