Pablo Alboran - Quien

I know I have been slow on the uptake with music lately....
and this video came out 3 months back
but you just can't miss a ballad from Pablo Alboran
you just can't do that to yourself for even one more day.
Peace,
L~

Penny Thoughts

An avocado pit lies broken open
hollowed out tender sprout.
A wall of rain is broached 
with a tilted brain.
Who steals in increments?
Loose change at the bottom
of a purse, pennies short.
A cold pear waits
against the desk light.
Bite down hard, break skin.

Storing items at the bottom
of an empty coffee can  
reminds me of another time
when we were holding
ourselves solid against a wall.

Prey

A shadow is lingering in the back of my brain
candy wrapper crackling in the darkness
teeth striking against sharp enamel edges
waiting like a cat ready to pounce on prey
ever watchful for the sound or the movement
that will set off the next chain of events
wasting time 'til the spark sets us on fire.

I dreamt that you died and you forgot
to say good-bye. How can I sleep
when the chair keeps being left wide
open in the yard ? A gaping mouth
with no one around to fold it close,
where downward facing dog
is the new prayer pose, no words,
just breath and beads of sweat
to offer as sacrifice.
