The habit of

is an addiction, solely
that I invented as a way to avoid certain

thoughts
I keep repeating short sentences
malnourished
like going to the café
to drink coffee
with no reason, other
than the habit of arriving
and ask for something like
coffee.


The habit of.

© José Coelho, 2015

lipspil

lips were made to kiss

objects, trees, images, of desire..

people

also people with lips

kisses were thought to

open skies, rivers and seas

blend the green of grass

with the yellow of

marigolds

across valleys of bees

thoughts

so precious and powerful

they are the true kiss

they are the true lips
