    early fall exists; aftertaste, afterthought;
    seclusion and angels exist;
    widows and elk exist; every
    detail exists; memory, memory’s light;
    afterglow exists; oaks, elms,
    junipers, sameness, loneliness exist;
    eider ducks, spiders, and vinegar
    exist, and the future, the future

  • Nicté Toxquihas quoted2 years ago
    limits exist, streets, oblivion
    and grass and gourds and goats and gorse,
    eagerness exists, given limits
    branches exist, wind lifting them exists,
    and the lone drawing made by the branches
    of the tree called an oak tree exists,
    of the tree called an ash tree, a birch tree,
    a cedar tree, the drawing repeated
    in the gravel garden path;
  • Nicté Toxquihas quoted2 years ago
    it’s new for me

    to be hearing cicadas

    here where it’s cold

    and so there are none

    perhaps it’s the kind

    of thing that’s always happened

    when the light travels north

    and the birches go along
  • Nicté Toxquihas quoted2 years ago
    as if the hydrogen

    at the stars’ cores

    turned white here on earth

    your brain can

    feel white

    as if someone had

    pleated up time

    pushed it in

    through the door of

    a room

    where a table

    two chairs and the unused

    bed of the non-sleeper

    crumble

    in advance

    as if haze from

    alien space

    travelled like angels

    you sit

    in your corner

    until without any-

    thing definite happening

    you suddenly

    get up

    and go

    like a bird that

    invisibly wakens

    and feeds its

    unborn young

    at midnight

    when no one can

    know whether things

    as they are

    go on
  • Nicté Toxquihas quoted2 years ago
    love exists, love exists

    your hand a baby bird so obliviously tucked

    into mine, and death impossible to remember,

    impossible to remember how inalienable

    life,
  • Ivana Melgozahas quoted3 years ago
    nights exist, nightshade exists

    the dark side, the cloak of namelessness exists

    the northern limits of consciousness exist
  • Ivana Melgozahas quoted3 years ago
    I write like the beating

    heart writes

    the hands the feet

    the skin the lips

    the sex their whisper

    I write like the beating

    heart writes

    the muscles the lungs

    the face the brain

    the nerves their sound

    I write like the beating

    heart writes

    the blood the cells

    the visions the tears

    the tongue their cry
  • Ivana Melgozahas quoted3 years ago
    I write like the water’s edge

    writes a tideline

    of seaweed and shells
  • Ivana Melgozahas quoted3 years ago
    alphabets exist

    the rain of alphabets

    incessant rain
