Dreck

Anahi Ortiz

.
we are pitted against each other,
knots and threads,
weaving and weaving,
unresolved,
a scheme to be undone and redone,
ongoing and unfinished

..
i am looking for gentle spirits
all i find is brashness and foolishness
perhaps that's me
i am looking for gentleness
everywhere i go

...
skin dry as a prune
a truck left to caught fire
exhaustive contemplation
without end or beginning
silence ensues, permeates
fumes everywhere
