Laura Alaniz

Rubber ducky

Rough day
Rough night
If I could live
In my bath
Water would never
Get cold
Heat spreads
To inner pain
Way to cope
With a book
And bubbles
And Epson salts

(2014)

No pido disculpas Por escribir Lo que siento Lo que llevo adentro Lo que vivo

I find richness In the mixture In what others disdain Young people lost Between two cultures
Dos vidas entretejidas

¿Te fue mal el día? Me va mal también a mi Dos vidas entretejidas Irrevocablemente Te cargo a ti encima
The sound of...

A noisy restaurant Listen Focus Beyond the dishes The music

Floating above the surface

I wallow in my sadness As it pools up It has not swallowed me Who floats above its surface This surface

Where do my bubbles go?

Your enthusiasm exhausts me This coke is flat The bubbles disperse Leaving a sticky and sweet Aftertaste

I look away Afraid to see Flicker of nerves In their eye A clench
