Reading over Rhina Espaillat's books in the last few days I was reminded of a curious form, the ovillejo, which she introduced to Eratosphere a few years ago. I did this today, a draft of the closest I've come to making one work:
Ovillejo: Forever
Your love for me's forever?
Whatever.
That's always been your way,
You say.
I've no desire to fight
Tonight,
So just leave on the light
So I can know your face
Forever, just in case—
Whatever you say tonight.
Rhina has two, "Ostinato" and "In Stone," in her Rehearsing Absence.
Working drafts of this one are at the Draft House.
