"Americano"
filter-dripped
watered down
weak coffee
artificial
the mood
steaming diluted
swings lower, unfilling;
the wanting
lusciously dark
hot to the tongue
more rapid
complex in richness
animated
scalding and sharp
Expresso
piercing arrow
shoots straight to the heart.
Candide Diderot. ‘25

Wherever I come
At home
Or outdoors
No shore nor apple
No cloud nor maple
Only boundaries to appall
The inexorable wall
Neither dream nor dance
You are allowed
Lance upon the wall
Stops you from being a sky
Where you can fly
The wall stands to deny
The world and the life
As threatening as a knife
If you dare to defy
And ask why
No reason no season
Just the dispensation
Not toward the ocean
No dancing a waltz
Submit to the walls
Can any one live
Like a free river
Singing swaying sweetening
Swelling shining shimmering
Filling and unfilling
In a democracy?
No, innumerable walls
Ready to befall
A city Labrador
Seeking an ice harbour
A slice of freedom
Some moments handsome
No leeway
Everyday is installed
Walled blockades
Of varied kind
In front and behind
Take it easy
We have to live
In a walled ecstasy
Wall and wall everywhere
Baked black despair
No room to breathe
Pollution free air
Your breathless hair
In the uneasy chair

Times of change become unknown,
faces of many alternately shown.
A cycle of change remaining the same,
steps to embrace life's unfilling game.
Feelings discussed revealed in silence,
overburdened in stress causing violence.
feverish sweats burning my eyes,
a second voice echoing cry's.
a chance presented perhaps to fail,
ultimately begin your self made hell.
Never deserve peace upon slumber,
haunted by a darkened number.
prophecy begins most regret,
things in motion permanently set.
succeeding in failure is all that remains,
one that destiny never tames.
