Cleveland respect

A gun pointed at my face  
in the darkest black hole  
hid the enraged fear 
12:29 PM It feared  
that I would not leave  
the home  
I had lived in  
for 19 years  
It feared  
It could not hold its temper 
12:30 PM and would throw its tantrum  
piercing open my chest
  
It was held by a young  
and even handsome  
policeman,  
who did this 
12:31 PM as his job  
at this jobless moment  
justified to do anything
Including
harnessing the fear of the gun
with its trembling trigger
  
This all happened last morning
a matter of moments in my life  
When 
12:32 PM I was evicted  
From the house  
Where I had lived  
for 19 years
but could no longer claim "mine."  

The young 
and even handsome  
policeman
comforted the gun 
by letting it rest in its sheath  
12:33 PM and recover from its fear
then
nailed on the door behind me
a poster sign   
"FORECLOSED"

Death of desire


Look is the desire
never bored for long

It goes beyond itself
tries everything
that is not readily available
on the shelf

It mixes loves and hates
blacks with whites
hairs with ants and honey
until out of the created, the unnameable
comes something funny

When it is fed up with its journey
it slips back inside
peeping at its own changes
in its restless non-sleeping nights

Out of boredom comes desire
each is the other's birth and death bed

Look is the desire
never bored for long
