Tunneling
Your story is in Spanish:
a blind man visits, eats, drinks, smokes
and searches your face with his fingers after dinner.
To feel someone's eyes upon you, you say,
is a metaphor. To feel someone's fingers
on your eyelids is also a metaphor
for truth.
Sometimes I tunnel to know how deep the clay begins,
to know "cathedral" in Spanish
to know poetry in S = KlnW
to know where I'm alone.
When you say, "Dádivas ablandan peñas," and hand me a wild cut twine, taut with a kite, I see your scarred fingers and know
your gift is not a kite, wise with wind
but the tunnel you dug
and the stone in my hand crumbles
