1 Some Words

Some words
shrill through the air
pelting rebelling cheeks
with glass syllables

Eyes sizzle sinking in heart
where demons of the blood
fall back in Pandora’s box
lighting and rumbling
unavenged



2 Other Words

Other words pass like heavy trains
loaded with clay faces
Sentimental sediments in letters
against the watery translation of time

They stop in heart – the station
where everyone wants to get in
and forgiveness is repaid
with thirty globules of silver blood

Only memories get off
pulling cases full of sepia tears
reddened by expired words



3 Same Words

He unburdens me of three syllables at a time
when eyes swallow and fingers sip
until I become a sandglass emptied of time
and his voice fills it up
with three sand syllables at a time
so we can rewind the erotic poem that tells
how I will unburden him of words
for the same sensual reasons
in my turn
