Do You Wash Pecans After Shelling Them

Mood States





Sometimes I feel like a poor hill and mountain
and other several peaks



sometimes I feel like a cliff
and sometimes as a sky blue but distant


sometimes one is

between source rocks and sometimes a tree with the last leaves


but today I am just

insomniac lagoon as a pier and without boats


a green lagoon

motionless and patient compliance with their algae
Mosses and their fishes


serene confidence in my confidence that an afternoon
you away and you look
you look at me.


(Mario Benedetti)
