KiNg

 The King

of Main Street

watches lives in vehicles below

inhaling exhaling

filtering out the stress

temporary calmness

do you sometimes think of jumping?

would you do it

even if you didn’t have a child?

 Did a child draw your life?

Did one night become an eternity?

You are a king up there

Your mother loves you

Your father despises you

because he loves you

the king of a 2 bedroom apartment

afraid to jump

so you stand up

opening packets of cigarettes

waiting

temporary calm

life becomes disposable

in a cloud of smoke

Hamam

In the steam

you open up

give space

for things to absorb

feelings powers that you didn’t know you had

in a closed space i lay wide open

i am afraid of losing my breath

of dying, of bieng alone

steam diminished

space closing

i lost you

in the waves

cold water closing my pores

sealing you

in me

forever
