and therefore evoking
my past and my future
not mine and mine

You are vain, absurd,
Pointless like gigantic bubbles!
Unworthy to reach my love’s castled, restricted mind.
Counting his forehead’s plaits, I pass my virgin life recklessly, day-dreaming worthlessly;
Glaring...

Round heels of crumpets,
aromatic lavender jam.
Poached eggs in a skillet,
succulent portions of ham.
An awakening stretch had heralded
a yawn mouthed long and loud.

as if I was closer to an unending wait,
My first love and I was his wedded wife,
now silver...

In the desert 




Like a barren flute
punched and airless,
Amidst sand dunes 
and dusky plaits,
Where no roses bloom
only cacti prick,
