When the Duplicate Key of Another Flat Doesn't Fit
Anymore





After she handed him the daily paper,

                             she makes herself a coffee cup,


out of habit than by heart.




In her head, she is a cappuccino cup in another flat...



                       After her husband left for office,

                                        she bangs the kitchen door


and slips the secret key in her bag

not knowing the one she thought had waited

has changed the lock.

I grew up in this town, my poetry was born between the hill and the river, it took its voice from the rain, and like the timber, it steeped itself in the forests.--Pablo Neruda
