almost half past January O
dont need new words

snoozing three alarms in one minute interval
must it begin this way

under a bed in a child’s room
some stones and glasses
take it or leave it for tomorrow
as the snow on the mountaintop never melts

i come, i tried
then why two empty busses
circumvent a broken chair

dont trust your sighs
your mother has told you

THE PAINTING and THE TITLE by a Peruvian artist nico marreros.
