I AM RAT

   

i am rat
runner
sniffer


you will die
i won’t
differ

glare at me
you will not
like me

snaring me
you try to
fight me

i exist
when you
see me

when you don’t
you can’t
conceive me

i am rat
sniffing
snot

you will die
i will
not


the soul of the rat includes every rat, every living and dead rat plus every dream and thought of rat, plus every incantation and painting and poem depicting rat. all these things together make up the soul of the rat. rat doesn’t care what you think.

these poems that i will upload are a selection from my poemario number 3 named MEXICO. they were written 2014-2015 during my travels in yucatan, guatemala and chiapas. here is a link:
