guillermo veloso Poems

I concede no ground
To this love as it was
I traveled the hard road to its
Final boundary
...

I feel the breeze that comes
With your breath, the shift in
temperature that comes with your kiss
There is a turning on its axis the world
...

52 trips around the sun
To come to this bone-chilled rainy September day
Dripping with water older than the sun
Absinthe and coffee before the world
...

Isaac felt the knife
The smell of sheep, manure and sadness
Rust blood stone, chilled mountain air
He heard no voices
...

Firm at the wheel
They come in with the tide
Past Morro Castle into Habana Harbor
Young and free
...

Lay down now
In the soft grass
Lay still now
Slow breathing with no purpose
...

We fear time
Time that gnaws like mice
At our passing days
We draw our lives into storyboards and
...

How many nights mornings must come
In darkness and misty fear
How many times must the hammer land before
The nail remembers, stiffens and
...

Smoothed like a gemstone
Now alone in the mine
Grey and full
Left to my thoughts and dreams of yesterday
...

In progress
Words
Words progress
Words lemming-like and anxious
...
