540_CAIMANO

clouds as teeth in the mouth of an alligator:
a long jaw
lurking on the water and the rest of the body hidden in the east

then the wind reduces the threat in the background, the sky in the water
glows blue pacific
and we can navigate the day
driven by the current hours

this writing,
held on the riverbank
uncertainty about its true extent, by
suspicion of the danger below the water surface,
from the perception that our weak arms
will not make us reach the other shore

notes for those who find themselves in the middle
a clear day turned into a storm, for those who
midway
sinks without hope in the current,
for those in the middle of the stream
slows the pace to avoid wasting forces
swim until sunset, but the swallows.

How To Set Up D2nt Bot

(Genoa, December 2, 2010, Thursday)

539_LAMPADA DIM

a dim lamp behind a dense shade
then thins out in long ribbons hanging:
this is the source of light when you wake up, the light that
reveals the blue wall behind the
next night that lingers

then moved to the west, behind the roof
very black and shiny
rain and tar,
let a warm yellow us touch, so
a small pink or gray
comfort us in doubt of awakening

you try it, the first color of the morning:
night raises questions
that darkness does not resolve.
