Roberto + Hermitage

Before the stillness

Among the crazy time

Bound, by papermache

The gluepot

And the paste brush

------------------------

In search of one

A symphony of simple

Cool, calm

Of a tradition

To dream

Of all but silence

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Water & Cobra

River boat

Down beside the flat lands

And the bicycle palaces

-----------------------------

A place to become unsettled

Legs turn, unsteady

Humans, with the voices of birds

Fires, pyres, as screened by poets

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Absence

Little girl, sat by her mother

Sips ice cream soda

Through a straw

Today her father

Is elsewhere

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Mirrors & Bars

Beautiful people

City central vacation

Hair stylists, and beauty parlours

Food routines; for bodies

And soul brothers

---------------------

Plums à la tomate

Generation through generation

A spotted dress

Drinks from my coffee cup

AVAILABLE ON KINDLE

Recovery

Sit, settle; take a while to relax

Embroiled, so to speak

A cacophony of human voices

To still the aches

Of this one more human
