The Old Body

The old body
Had accumulated too large a vocabulary
To remain mute
                        Before the winking eyes
Of crossed legs.
                         The catastrophe was
That the amazement was young and the riverbank
Had the love calls of frogs.
Speech could not be articulated
                                           In a country
That did not exist to have a native language.

Tango

Soliloquies
                 Sensed their tango
Was a
          Solo.
It was not any different at an art dilemma
In Soho,
             Although her shoulder’s bareness
Multiplied and became vaster even with the
Recognized disaster.
So soliloquies brought pocket tape recorders
To authenticate
                      They had actually spoken to
Communicate.
