ERICK SAENZ

Horizon

I was beyond

existing neither

here nor there,

numb:

pink-orange creases

sketched above.

Companerx(s)

for German

We lost touch somewhere

along the way, growing up or

out, concrete &

filth.

You said:

my roots are deep here, there’s no place to grow

what i felt

for years, something

about wisdom

in gray hairs,

fleeting.
