A new book to house this year's (and future years) NationalPoetryMonth's daily poems.
I'm writing once again this year. This book is my special event place for thirty special poems.

Here for National Poetry Month in 2018, I'm participating but life has not been kind in the last 15 months, so I'm not always in writing mode.

here flow no more than his thirty-one words

I cannot add the smallest touch
to bend his intent

& sway translated thus
into my own heartbeat

and hunger for humor

         morning banks
         drunk erasing themselves

         your [¿laughing?] curve makes
         the sacrifice to
         die as do embers

         & even childhood [¿games of tag?]
         because it had lighted
         the face beyond

         climbs
         until intruding
         on candor

I'm sure he smiled
his effect

content to affect mystery
to a simple limpid scene

playing with imagination’s wile



after "light as a sign" by Mohammed Dib
