Sergio A. Ortiz- Three Poems


for Gertrude Stein

yes, I was cancelled,
an abyss below my bed
yet I was cancelled
nobody came, nobody came—
unknown shore— I’m enraptured



for Baroness Elsa von Freytag Loringhoven

bane aging
hip pains -- walk
penetrating
 -- -- -- S. O. S.  memory
treads caution



Tribute to Cid Corman

There is a voice
in the dense space
of silence,

leaning on the sun and
dying

in the community of words,
images
that weave simple possibilities.
