Bajo la Borrasca

--
maestra roca
descansa fija sobre corrientes de sombra
siglos de olas deshacen su azote
batiendo espuma sobre tus aristas

tu ejercicio de silencio
es mi nuevo espejo

Picking your Battles

--
give up on skin to wrinkle and soil
surrender your bone to splinter

end the run before it's begun
retreat into smoky dens

rekindle the last warm embers
dress up the leftovers once more

what skills are left to recover
under the gun?
