Lenny Camacho Poems

There are so many things I do
that I do not want to do
There are so many things I want to do
that I am not doing
...

I guava tree, furnished gently by the sun,
in summertime this tree had become my fun,
my home, my hideaway, my brother, my all:
The rippen fruit gave me strength, gave me love.
...

Looking through my ersatz drapes
beyond the world of flesh and bones
beyond the world of love and hate
beyond my dreams and hopes
...

look
look closely
there's something
something you hadn't seen before
...

at night
what is that I hear outside?

heavy eyelids
...

WHAT is happening with life?
What with me?

I'm free,
...

I reached over for my watch,
however, I don't have a watch.
I had a watch before.
I remember.
...

FEAR is the millstone, and confidence is the grain,
that we, willingly, place under the millstone's weight.

What if we do? , what if we don't? , we'll never know
...

Clouds hovering over town
just barely above the steeples
and the rooftops and the treetops
just barely above it all
...
