Claudia Rey
My name is nobody
no tengo historia
je vis nulle part.
She walks along the beach
in the Mexican morning
greeting the soft waves kissing her feet.
Hello, waves.
Wash me, make me new
erase my memories
give me a clean slate.
Welcome back, say the waves.
How nice to see you again.
How nice to be on her own
alone but not lonely
safe, quiet, happy
like Eve with no Adam.
There might a catch in this beauty
but at the moment she doesn’t care.
