I FOUND DUENDE
Folder:
EVEN WHORES HAVE FEELINGS
I found Duende
& then lost it
among the papers
& notebooks
scattered on desks
& shelves & under beds.
It made a cameo
on a poem
written on a napkin
in a brewpub in Vermont
only to smudge
into oblivion.
Over time,
it occurred & reoccurred
in haunted alleys,
bus station bathrooms;
even the rare sighting
at the local convenience store
but the loss
seems more reality
instances fading away;
no more proudly
pumping out gems
with incandescent flair
so the quest will continue
as search and recovery
remains the mission of the day
and plenty of beaches,
airports and coffee houses
await offering clues.
