Waiting in Agony

Inspired by and an interpretation of:  
"El poeta pide a su amor que le escriba" (He begs his love to write) 
- Federico García Lorca




Waiting in Agony


Silence in time halts
turns people to phantoms
futureless without past
     in twilight

Surprising how paper
comprises awareness
discredits 
     in bloodless ink

Your pen pierces surface
scratches dead stone
etches deep lines
     in absence

Poison in my veins
I beg you release me
save me
     kill me
