Amina El Bakouri

Visionary Eulogy (part 7)

Oswaldo


A fire fiercer than the glow
Of passionate hearts
Erupts volcano-like into the ribs of words
Awakening the ecstacy of quickly receding
                                                                        Rhymes!
I am no inexperienced marine woman
To be fooled by a water poem . . .
Or am I to blame for feeling thirsty?
So why does the choke betray
The water drinker?
Or am I to blame for profound fascination?
So why does water flow downwards
All the time?
