; Amy Fagan Orange Ave



Two poems to celebrate the return of words.
The latest book from the union of the External University of Colombia and The Malpensante (and is number 42 of this laudable enterprise) brings poems of Luis Fernando Afanador, I choose two to share. Small, accurate, here you go:

But the other? Of that waiver, turns
the face, who will not or can not see spending unnecessarily
and kisses, promises
entreaties, looks all the beauty
runaway to nowhere
another waste of life and also
suffers ...
