Skin

 

I also have black skin.

The light one is the cloak

a black man cries

with white tears

underneath it.




Gallop


in the elevator you take off your panties
in front of the door you are already
without blouse
open
as an incurable wound



the moment you enter my small
palace
the seams on your skirt split
bang on the head unites tongues
in an only to us
comprehensive language
in a hurry you sit on me
and ride
believing I will never
burn out



you gallop so happily
through the night
through the day
and I already bestride
a new mistress

I don’t think I gave such considerations that much thought at the time; I was just sad and wanted to sing, wanted m

Apricot When you come back from lunch honey come to see apricot has blossomed my father planted it when I was a kid thunder halved it once but couldn’t do anything to it I guess the children’s little hands who steal from it while taking care of the branches arranged to be so when we are not here come to turn the sawdust on beneath it they say there will be frost tonight so I don’t have to wake up my dad from eternal sleep   After the exhibition when in the mirror I see you instead of myself then that’s not day from those you keep silent about when I cross my legs while I drink coffee and I read the story about sleepers who wake up from the sea then I must have fallen asleep in the last verse of unwritten poe
