Language

On the question of language:
Language is but a facsimile for what is really there, a construct to reveal a form underneath, and because of this, the construct sometimes takes on its own shape, not always in harmony with the truth it is meant to reveal. So the question is this: can a word, though distorted in meaning, still reveal something fundamental with its placement?

Hecho de nada

Hola hermanita
Tengo un problema
tengo una complicación.

tengo miedo

y no sé por qué
ni de donde.

La frase en mi mente
todas las noches,
oscuras y ruidosas

tengo miedo

de nada.

Mis lados
están hechos de
agujeros
raspados
con el cayendo
de plata y seguridad.

ah, pues, no
importa.

tengo miedo
de nada.

Echo de menos

My stomach is revving 
Rearing to go
Wheels wound up 
Shoulders snailshelled tight 
Coiled to spring 
To your marks 
Get ready 
Go 
home.
