Editorial Director
BOUDOIR
Reborn
Under house arrest
my life starved to death
She
had no more words to feed on
The sky
is low: a lid on a can
my oxygen supply demands a coup d'etat
and a republican
red poem
anything, red or blue.
Give me
the pass to temporary exile
out of the silent days.
I could write in the
night
in the luminescence of
the last candle of my existence
I
could live with the twinkle
of the brass stars
of the ever passing armies
of
dictators
Their rhetoric is a wind
in my sand timer
Just a flew syllables
to
tell
my name.
