Elvira Kay

I've watched the clouds tease each other today
white on blue
folding and unfolding
slowly retracting
...

i thought that getting over
you would be easy as cake
Just sweet enough not to
hurt
...

Being alone
being this oneness
like a straight candle
just lighting
...

my brother died today
his corpse was laid out
for the coroner to see
then other men came
...

I have two mouths
One for reason
Other just to swallow
Insatiable mouth
...

I thought learning Spanish
would make me understand Neruda

I'm at my desk
...

This distance between us
Not to be measured in meters
Nor can any feet or toes
Express the scope
...
