Nothing - poem by Rossana Camarena

Nothing

Of whatever comes from me,

of what barely

as a tidal wave

as a tongue of salt

like oyster eyes

siren song

in the net of the fisherman

without hunger.

Of whatever comes from me,

of what is curled up

like snails

as a reflection of the moon

as a wave fragment

starfish without a sky.

Of whatever comes from me,

of what he murmurs

as undone foam

as a back-and-forth that grows

as a desire to burst

in wave alone, without sand or sea or anything.

Of what comes from me, not from others, j

ust come, go, and stay.
