Leopard Gecko With Swollen Stomach
This
that shimmers in the night cap of my thinking, track
pearly snail
emery or glass trampled,
light of the church is not that food od'officina
cleric red, or black. Only
quest'iride
I leave you
testimony of a faith that was fought,
of hope that burned slower
a hard strain on the hearth. Please keep the powder
in the mirror when switched off every light
the sardana
and hell will come upon a shady Lucifer
a bow of the Thames, the Hudson, the Seine
shaking the wings of bitumen
bitten off by semi-hard, to tell you: it is the 'now.
is not an inheritance, a lucky
that can withstand impact of monsoon on the edge of the spider
memory
but a story that does not last in the ash
and persistence is the only species. Just
was a sign: Who identified
can not fail to find you.
Everyone recognizes her: pride
was not escape, humility was not
vile, the soft glow rubbed
there was not a match.
