Maya is right; her brother red river is an excellent poet. I love this line:
"I used to wander through life amid
an ill-starred love "
And this:
"I used to keep a little page of quartz
to rivet my eyes to life."
And this:
"I bought kindness, I was in the market
of greed, I inhaled envy's
most sordid waters, the inhuman
hostility of masks and beings,"
And this:
"I lived a sea-swamp world
in which the flower, the lily, suddenly
consumed me in the or foamy tremor,
and wherever I stepped my soul slid
toward the teeth of the abyss."
And every line of them.
Maya, please post more of his poems.
