Charlie Guzman
The Epistles
Dear Old Woman,
What is your
name?
Why are you alone
in this room?
Why did you dip your fingers in inky
gangrene?
Where did your feet get
those yellow calluses?
Why has your skin turned to leather?
Where have your eyes
gone? Why are they replaced with commas?
Sincerely,
Isabalino.
20 July
