Outsider

Written by

in

Took my first steps

On this corridor

Unleveled earthiness

Saw myself reflected

In a rush of energy

Becoming self aware

That I had just met my soul

It kissed my forehead

From birth to forever

With only God in between

Punctually swallowing

All of my blues

With such artistry

That when I glance at my children

I do it

With eyes closed

Because I too

Saw my life

Pointing back at me

Ciudad Habana, Cuba

    It’s the poems we write, about our best beloveds, that weigh the most. That ground us. This did that, to me.

      I felt vacuumed when done. Almost rushed, if that makes any sense. If it evoked something in you, I can just smile. Thank you 😊

        Everything you write evokes something in me.
