Poems for Two Nieces
(Poems of snapping pictures of the moment)
1) A Day in Lima (poem)
Sharla & Sheryl—7-21—2016 (Lima)
A
foggy evening is expected,
It
will come…
The
day is over.
The
visitors have gone back home—
The
girls are having a massage.
The
rooster has yet to croak,
But
he will…
A
drizzle of rain seeps down
Throughout
the air.
Lima’s
a noisy city.
The
girls will catch a taxi home
Tonight!
Rosa’s
eating cabbage and carrots.
In
two more days the girls
Will
go back to America.

2) Slow Morning (Haiku)
Slow
morning—with rain
July’s
early noon, pale, bleak!
Forlornness,
in Lima.

3)
Coffee at Mall Del Sur
Like
new grass, Sharla and I smelt coffee bags today.
The
spirit moving around in them: I could see into
The
darkness of the bag—
Blazing
up ascents with spiral motions, —the
Aroma!

4)
Rain will Fall
This
poem should express: thoughts we
have
not yet thought, as with my two nieces
whom
have come afar to visit me!
Those
thoughts, now visible bodies, with eyes
and
ears, have lived through the rain.
They
have become a new and unusual, exciting
volume
for my life, perhaps I for theirs
likewise!
Is
it not true, this is the tip of the tail, for life?
Not
to be disingenuous!
If
not, one wastes his/her life….
