Lorenzo A. Fernandez Jr. Poems

I’m very lonely
and sleep eludes me.
So I drink a bit
and play some music.
...

Now is the time
but there's nothing I can do.
Something is lost, the upshot
of trying hard to chase the gold.
...

I can’t help staring
At the moon not as glaring
...

Withered brown leaves fall
Not yet autumn, but only
...

A new mirror

Makes no difference — I seldom
...

I’d like to be
in a place where
I could be
all alone like a hermit.
...

A writing hand that doesn’t stop
Only a sleep
...

After a night rain
Relentless croaking of frogs
...

I can’t sleep—not bugs,
Nor insomnia, but too much coffee
...

The drummer beats
His drums like a demon
...
