to write about hearts being lovers by Bogdan Dragos

Published by

on

she told me she broke up with her

boyfriend because the fool

started writing poetry

«It’s disgusting,» she said

«Does he write about dead bodies,

rape, and–«

«What? No, goddammit! He writes about

our hearts being lovers, mine and his,

and he says how they

call to each other at night while

we’re away and how they

wish to break out of the flesh prison

they’re shackled in

and how their waves meet and create

a new entity, new life that is meant

to be brought into the physical world. Ugh!»

«Oh… I get it.»

«Well then you get why I had

to break up with him…»

«Because he was telling you that

he wanted children,» I said

«What? No. I just told you. It’s

because he started writing poetry, dammit!»

«Oh… okay.»

    Children was a deal breaker for me- so even if she is not yet admitting it to herself, I believe your assessment is spot on.

    Excelente. Muy gracioso. Bueno, no sé si «gracioso» sea la palabra correcta, pero fue lo primero que me vino a la mente.

    Bravo. 🙂

    I always feel tripidation when I approach your writing, because I never know what you are going to come up with. I mean that in a positive way, you are a brilliant writer.
