Sanguine

Sanguine

A Poem by Cristina Moldoveanu

brick-colored winds blow stronger

a cretaceous era tied my ankles

to the ground

I’m raising mountains

each time my knees tremble

like flint burnt from foundations

 

if I raise my front straight

in this bloody dust storm

crevices show up in the eye whites

in different directions

with my forefinger I cut pathways

on my temples

dusting off pink dreams plaster

from all my sleepless nights

 

I’m still walking on tiptoes

or on my heels

I’ll never be a brick

in another forecourt

waiting for a new glacial period

to find a place in a heart

like in an igloo

Lewis Caroll in ' Alice ' advises the individual who has swam out too far into the ocean to swim to the other shore. It refers to doing something with both feet.
