emergent

emergent

falling awake

borrowing a polo shirt
with colors subtly textured

carrying a heavy bag

of a restless night

asking the smiling day for directions

bumping into people and resolutions

failing to deliver

and refitting scaffoldings

Gaudí constructions

searching for a piece of mind

to inhabit

taking a seat next to someone

to ask for a little help

morning down the streets

and letting the sea

play with the calves

evening dining out

table by the beach
taken for a walk

then Avinguda d'Icària

and say goodnight

to yet someone

noon at aeroport
unpacking sandwiches

to eat while waiting

scared

scared

I'm so scared
of touching you
I'm scared
of the hurt I've done
and am going to do
I'm scared
of not being grown-up
up to dreaming of you

I'm scared to death
that will us part

bridge-knitter

bridge-knitter

brown bridges of bark-
hardened wool
green garden bridges
brook brows and foothealers
forest alleys
red bike rides
the roots of this place
the grass bridging to the woods
doors painted blue
glossy windows

bridges of spider silk

and optic fibers

bridges outspread
between trunks and islands

needlework
stitching soft words
over unsecured loops
knitted fabric
a suspension wale
- weight anchoring to the ground -
spanned over a river of yarn
that flows closely curve by curve
or stretches beyond
as if suspended on teeth -
biting into
the strings

building bridges
climbing bridges
crossing bridges
bridging bridges

being a bridge
