"klnw" poems
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
