I lost a handful of poems

 

I lost a handful of poems

to the winds of creditors blowing at my door.

Trying to escape the constrictions

I erased half of my heart,

a third of my soul

a thousand and one minutes of loving

the world,

of enjoying the sun and the rain.

I saw a ladybird stretching her wings,

and barely recognized her.

In the turmoil of figures blurring my eyes,

wanted to fix on the black dots sparkling on those smooth red domes.

Got only red figures staining my blackened mood,

my tarnished song.
