(source: “Forgetting Palmessa”, 2002.)

Let’s pretend it’s been raining
since I heard the news,
that the messenger has been shot,
that the sun is mercy,
is contagious.
Let’s forget you’ve been crying
puddles in suitcases;
the relief of hours
thinning on white coast.
Let’s face bad news, feel 
each dying pulse, cause 
truth is, Palmessa
is sinking.
