If you’re in the Providence RI / Southeastern MA area, you might want to come see Duende performing at one of the two places we’ll be this week:

Blue State Coffee on Thayer Street, Providence, RI on Tuesday;

as part of an evening of poetry, music, and dance on Wednesday night in Middleborough, MA.

Please go check the show listings in the tab above for more info.  Hope to see you there!

Awareness

The hawk
invites the
attention

of three boys
smoking weed
near the old foundation

in the abandoned
pasture
behind the funeral home

but they don’t
look up
as he rounds over them

unnoticed.
Perhaps he considers
the coal-spark of the bowl

from up there,
perhaps not;
more likely

the hawk
is as uninterested
in the boys

and the ruin
they’re using
for camouflage

as they are in
the hawk’s easy grace
as he passes hungrily

over what is
beneath him.
Importance

is relative,
after all: dependent
on where one is,

what one seeks,
what surrounds you
as you search.

What passes
among the boys
is irrelevant

to the hawk,
what may be
scurrying nearby

is irrelevant
to the boys,
and no one can ever say

what the ruin, the hayfield,
and the dead
think of all this.
