2 Poems Jose Luis Peixoto


A NEON LIGHT SAYING 'I LOVE YOU'

you will never surrender to silence
for your words scream like the strip
in las vegas.




FUNDAMENTAL THINGS

i am really sure that nobody will ever read this poem.
that is how fundamental things usually are. one may
only repeat them to the void. darkness never answers back.

i am almost certain that i haven't written this poem.
usually, fundamental things remain unsaid. then, we suffer
because there is only bitterness and regret, regret, regret.
