Ayi Escalona - bang!

the door goes bang

he leaves
with no assurance that he is returning

she stays
and something went bang!

could be a gun
and her hands and her head and her bed

he does not want to know
out there

in the island of himself
where a surf and a tide lies
in his solitude

back to the door
that went

bang

and the real bang
of the head

some prayers need to be offered

Ayi Escalona
