ACT III

She tried to speak of her hearts desire
And blew smoke
Vaporous words with radiant expletives
Escaped
Trapped behind a ‘not knowing’
Entangled in desire
Enmeshed in unrealized dreams
She could not get ‘it’ out
She felt a festering conundrum of Zen
Maters beating at her back
A juxtaposition of his and hers
Whipping her
Whiting out
Memories
Of beginnings and endings
Before and afters
Designer Drugs
She created her own,
She is imprisoned by her own foolish heart
She rocks back and forth as if she were
100 years old and she feels all her teeth are missing
She sucks in the air to speak again
And this time
When she tries to speak out what she wants her heart
To say
Cool like a springtime breeze on a Sunday afternoon,
She just
Disappears

    Lina my friend, this is the most amazing painting in words I’ve seen with my mind’s eyes in quite a while, say, years and years. This is Dali and Magritte gathered on sunny afternoon to depict the feelings of your heart… only to be outshined by your genius at handling emotions in words. My friend, I bow to you for such a talented poetess you are.
    .
    But not to worry Lina, because “She” will be back with a loving and kind vengeance, I know that with certainty… any valley exists only because of the hills around. I see “her” on top of the highest hill around with the wind caressing her cheeks. Oh, what a vista is there on top… all masters saluting each others by thoughts and vibrations, not a word spoken… Say no more!

    This has touched me…
    it remembers me…
    I was a child…
    then I was walking along the street
    when I saw a bakery..and…my desire aroused..
    I told her..
    “mom…. I am hungry….
    with a sort of lament..
    and then she asked me…
    “Do you want a bread roll..?”
    Then I answered…
    “But…I am hungry…of something…”
    Yes…. what this something was….will be dissapearing as the way your heroine all teeth gone, hundred years of “somethings” will one day… go
    Love Lina… (this is one feature… for me.. true)
