Pink desert sunset,
after a long workers’ day
blessed me with its rays
May 26th, 2024 – 5:15 am
My sun slowly woke,
the dog swam in the sinking
home. Aun duermo…
May 26th, 2024 – 11:00 am
Drenched carpets. Mi
casa huele a lodo.
So, falto al work.
May 27th, 2024 – 10:00 pm
No hay agua.
I drive beneath clouded stars
to my loved fig tree.

La nostalgic branch
que me cargo de niña,
me dice adiós.

El olor ya se
quito. Agua ya fluye
otra vez. Que hueva…

Throwing the trash out,
after a long week alone.
I breathe cleansing wind.
May 31st, 2024 – 2:00 am
The moon dances high.
In indoor cold I remain
awake with my thoughts.
