I am...A Poem by Ruben OrtellaoFree Verse
I am the water that trickles into the sewer
the wandering wind in the wheat field the ocher leaves under the window the disappointment of the elderly the hand that calls and defends the saddest verses of Neruda the impotence of forgiveness the windmills of Don Quixote the sadness of the hunger the glass of wine to share the illusion of the outcast the puddles on the street the color of the shadows the lies of the politicians the rain on a sunny day the message in a bottle the petal and the thorn the laughter of children the blindness of Borges the moss in the stone the beard of Whitman the door always open the underpaid worker the gasp to nowhere the beggar's refuge the pointing finger the foam of anger the clocks of Dali the curving road the bitter vomit the lost island the false note the joy of sin I am Death silence sperm guitar lover gore war you I am a poet © 2010 Ruben Ortellao |
