Existential Struggle

The struggle to remain alive

beats the hell out of a person,

leaves ‘em bruised

like the burnt end of a cigarette.

There’s nothing in the fridge,

but a man needs more than rice—

the worst thing

is choosing between eating and life.

“Man lives not by bread alone.”

El poeta cubano Roberto Fernandez Retamar dijo que el hombre tiene dos necesidades: pan, y belleza.

The truth is visceral, and beautiful, like your poetry hermano.
