Editorial Director
EXILE
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.
