Paulo Acosta

When at odds with the Universe,
Ranting and raving for better or for worse,
When all is said and done,
Sadness and Anger yet ungone,
...

I survived an Intimation of Mortality,
An Imitation of Grave Formality,
An Encounter- His Face to my face-
And yet I live, grazed by Grace,
...

...

Length, Height, Breadth are The Measures
Others traverse to pluck their Treasures.
I do not rove or roam,
Seek not to prove or own.
...

Homeless, starving,
Bone-wringing dry,
