I Am A Slave
Poems by Samantha Cosentino

I Am a Slave (in Bracelets)

I am a slave in bracelets.

They encircle the essence
of my words.

I write with a wrist wrapped in aged wood,

keeping the secret
of my faithfulness.


The Building of a Poem

swirling circles of mud-color water
in the foam
another spiral in this land of spirals
in my cup
white cup
filled with swirls the color of wood
like rings of a tree
wooden table underneath
swirled wood
four windows
filled with the grey bay swirling
and the cloudy sky
threatening to storm
winds swirling
underneath the dock
underneath this boat cafe

'Unvieling' hung on the wall

the storm is collecting its strength
the sea underneath responds

the colors are deep, dark, bold, and blurred


By Accident

My pen fell into the wine glass.

I dropped it there

by accident.

Now it is drunk.

Now I can write in the color of fire.

So we were born,

of flames
a blaze burning fast.

You the fanatical master
And I the crazed lunatic.
