FRANKO BUSIC

I am/am I

I am Franko Busic

some people say
Croatian writer and painter
that is not true
since I never speak Croatian
except when buying
explosive
that I use in fishing

some people say
I am the man without biceps and triceps
that is not true
since biceps in my pants is
above all solid
ask
Ana Jana Zvonka Tonka
Zrinka Vinka Dinka
and so on through fifty pages

some people say
I am Atheist Anarchist Nihilist Dadaist
Naturalist Satanist Darwinist Nudist
that is true
from their point of view
although
I am what am I

JEFFREY ALFIER

Vespers

Voice is a sculpture of whispers
seeking peaceable clarity,
spelling prayers to the silence
where the heart casts shadows wide
as the vineyards of La Mancha.
The refuge that hangs in the dark
becomes laced to the wing of doubt.
Dawn becomes hard to conceive.
