[Realpoetik] JESSE NISSIM

[RealPoetik Magazine]

EX HOUSES


Her infinite property seized
together with a third party.
Might morality seem to matter
more than persons. A classic
testimony; will you tell me
how gradually it has been coming.



SHELTER


I prefer waiting for you
Water in the background

Offstage a private landscape
Attraction like hero worship

Looking in the windows of houses
Where they would never be invited

I recognize the feeling
I aim the lights

In the windows
Ogle the demographics
