by Gonzalinho da Costa
I heard a headache
Hammering away.
Heavy blows broke off
Block fragments.
Tiny chips scattered,
Peas bouncing away.
Blast set off so loud
I was deafened
By noonday light
Flashing front, center,
Right, left.
Beans rebounded
Inside my skull.
Ball bearings spiraled
Round and round
Inside walls
Of a bowl,
Spinning coin
Settling
Down, rattling.
Now I am
Partially
Blind in
One
Eye.
