I swim in the rain.
I don’t know the consequences of such a thing.
Life is a Trojan horse.
I seek less deception.
I set out to sea
bent on swimming as far from shore as I could.
I want to cleanse my heart.
I seek immediate relief.
The rain coincides
with the situation I am experiencing.
I lost out on love.
I don’t know what else to do.
It is night and I am afraid to fall asleep.

Luis' latest chapbook, Overcome, was published by Kendra Steiner Editions and includes photography by Cynthia Etheridge.
I will put this on my list of must reads.
Thank you, hope you have a peaceful December!
What a beautiful piece. I'm curious about the poet's cultural background as it does seem to infuse the work.
I love the short lines and ordering of ideas. Very nice!
