Two Micropoems by Laskiaf Amortegui

In That Summer

In that summer it was not hot, 

your warm hands did not accompany mine.

It was a strange summer, 

with desperate butterflies, 

fleeing to another season!

You Say

You say that we are, 

sometimes that we are not.

Then, what are we?

If one day I am, 

and the next day I am not.

And if I am, 

it doesn't look like it.

Remember: I am safer, 

knowing what I am not!
