Comments about Barbara Guest
20
Sleep is 20
remembering the
insignificant flamenco dancer
in Granada
who became
important as you watched
the mountain ridge
the dry hills
What an idiotic number!
Sleep is twenty
it certainly isn't twenty sheep
there weren't that many in the herd
under the cold crest of Sierra Nevada
It's more like 20 Madison Ave. buses
while I go droning away at my dream life
Each episode is important
that's what it is! Sequences —
I've got going a twenty-act drama
the theatre of ...
Barrels
Y otras pasan; y viéndome tan triste,
toman un poquito de ti
en la abrupta arruga de mi hondo dolor.
Cesar Vellejo
I won't let anybody
take a drink
out of this barrel of tears
I, live near Oxford and travelled the world,
I loved Wilmington, NC the best
And to Berkeley with Joanne, , but I never met Barbara Guest
But I never met The Barbara Guest
