[Origineel]

A small dark room
behind each lid,
unoccupied. Reserved?

‘The waiting room was different
this time,’ I said, warily,

as if someone might have tricked us
into believing
there was just one room

or that there were other times.

*

I'm waiting on a transfer
of poison

among strung leaves
through the Americas

by dictator, no,
dictation.
