his nostrils flaring with the fragrance of ombadalias,
whose lacey petals flutter
like the wings of long-dead...

hidden in a bucket of unshared dreams.

I kept my soul sweet like marshmallows,
but life has finally caught up with me,
Like a fast car overtaking...

Rats in the cellar, squirrels in the tree,
things aren't the same as they used to be.

It’s a recurring thought–
Over and over again–
echoing in my head,
Bouncing back and forth,
Reeling up and down like a Yo-yo,

In a dismal old fashioned cell at our ancestral home,
Wherein coconuts, new and old, heaped like a hillock dome;

Finding phantom-forms we ran as scared as rabbit bury...

In your presence I am,
With my forehead
Touching the ground.

That I hang on my eaves."

They are...

Termites at Christmas

they were swarming by the hundreds one day,

the sunlight behind their soft bodies...
