Violet Eztli Poems

Life is a sailboat
It sits on a lonely sea
it rocks up and down
...

Sleep talking
face down, walking
eyes glittering
hands fidgeting
...

...Whatever it was, it had awoken.
And it caused something to stir in the deep shadows of my mind.
I hadn’t known it until now, but I had been waiting.
Since the beginning of time, I had been waiting for this moment.

as he neatly slipped the card back into the flowery envelope
and tucked it into his back pocket
After a yawn and a stretch, he finally looked up,

When I sleep, time speeds up
And I've been waiting
for Something pleasant to come to me
...

I was a moth in the palm of your hand
You found me amongst the dirt and sand
with fascination like child, you looked down at me
And soon afterward, you were all I could see
...
