Oliver Rodriguez Poems

I didn’t really know her; we sat and we talked.
I didn’t know really about her.
I didn’t know her, really.
So I told her my life-story.
...

Frisk the glass like fish,
Unfurl the web of the window.

While the wind shimmies,
...

Slipping through a courtyard path on a whim
Of spontaneity and pizzazz,
An after-dinner treat to delight the soul in delightful soul and jazz
That leaks and curls around town like the smock around her knees
...

Shooting upon the back of the shimmering stallion
That careens into the wilderness,
A tropical technological mechanical
Amalgamation.
...

Somewhere, a noise is heard.
Silenced outbursts contained and allowed.
A dog’s freedom of speech,
Hounding the silence with a pounding heart.
...
