cumin, toenails and flies
Ellecim Onadsak Feb 2013
I write to you
when my poetry is rhyme.
I write to you
when my poetry is ill.

I write to you
in moments of style.
and in moments
when all style stands
still.

I write to you
on cubic balconies
dangling from loud
and misty skies

I write to you
from men-infested markets
buzzing with cumin,
toenails and flies

I write to you
before picking up my pen,
and after putting it down
for good

And in between these moments,
I feed these letters
to  mad chimneys and
starving wood.

the poet's rage
Ellecim Onadsak Feb 2013
I offer my spine
to the midnight couch
And my trousers
to the stone-cold floor
I drown all patience
in Saturday’s wine.  
And maim my poetry
until
it is
no more.
Ellecim Onadsak Feb 2013
All sensors,
but they sense you not.
your sensibility
got drowned
in that parking lot.
