words of a people aligned in their perfect order
I’m cutting filters in half
dreaming of guilt, a world I don’t occupy
keeping two filled zippos out of a collection
32 gallons of paint and no will
and then she said
“me parece interesante
lo que haces donde vives”
precisamente esto,
de todos los momentos,
el mundo no es tan feo en la mañana.
– Hoc Scripsi
Nice one.
That closing line is awesome in any language.
Thank you! I get nervous when composing in Spanish as I don’t speak it well – I read it fine most times and some of my favorite poets are Spanish speaking. This one was prompted by a conversation I was having on FB with a Spanish speaking fan. I did my best to hold up the conversation in Spanish and then thought it would make a good write, hopefully it worked on all levels and not just the final line.
