GRANDDAUGHTER


Granddaughter
You are up─right
Straight in─line
Correct on─line
It must be on
Your birthright

Granddaughter
You are beautiful
Not because you
Are my granddaughter
But because
You have my tu─lips

Granddaughter
You are healthy
Without being crazy

Granddaughter
You are such
A respectful demoiselle

Granddaughter
I smiled goodbye
And your chiseled face
Stood in place
But your heart
Gyrated like
A sunflower

Granddaughter
You work
On your precious feet
And exercise
On you shinny bicycle

Granddaughter
Mother of many creations
Willful allocator
Caretaker of my garden
Water my flowers

CONVENIENCE

Old white woman
With 3 young brown girls
Buying time

BIG CATS

People worship them but
They rushed to cut me down
I pressed the trigger & illuminated their day

COLLECTION


I saw your face again
Your beautiful face
Your clandestine face

And you looked tense
I could not reconciled
What I remember of your voice
With the photographs

And now you presence
Across my path
Such is the company
Of beautiful satellites
Classic artifacts of love

I am sometimes tempted
To tell you the power
You possess over others
I know you might have an idea
But I have the essentials

I have seen them
I have listened to them
I have their words
And studied their movements
And their desires

You!
Playful & beautiful
Middle-aged woman
With your suffering
As a relay signal
Of likelihood
Provoking the
Domino effect
On our foes

Let me know when
You find happiness
Because is not about
The highest magic wand
Save for the waters
Of the Most High

SUNDAY MORNING


God on the radio
Restructuring my ribcage
Less painful than yesterday

MOVING

Funky cars
On the prairie
Suns of vacation

DAWN

Pain wakes me up
Love is on the radio
But the bird song is better

SEE

We can’t see the sun
It hurts too much on the eyes
We can only wish


VEER

No podemos ver
Este sol con los ojos
Con el alma sí


TOS

Mi infraestructura se expande
Mi corazón suprime el dolor
Una lágrima se escapa


COUGH

My infrastructure expands
My heart suppresses the pain
One tear escapes

COUCH


Old man drinks
Newspaper murders in his hands
The liquid burns his lips

DRIVEWAYS


The people
These guys are young
Mid twenties

He got out of the car
She remained inside
Glancing at me

I drove away
But spot them again
On the driveway
Of a taco shop
Miles away

She looking at me
He looking straightforward
I driving towards the end

CAFÉ

Las doncellas
Hablan de tabaco
1 tiene aroma español

PERSPECTIVE

She looks prettier
When she blushes
Even if she belongs to winter

LA MESA

La mujer guapa come
Me mira ruborizada
Esposo e hijo en silencio

VISIT

The pair arrived
She’s nervous older & pretty
He’s younger nervous & intelligent

MANZANILLA

Sleep comes back
Thinking of your fresh kisses
On my right side

POLICE

Police machine
Police payment in heaven
Police patience for compensation
Police right away to exist
Police kindness
Police blindness
Police respect
Police truth
Police lies
Police the world
Police of summer
Police the things to come
Police little square
Police resignation
Police stagnation
Police contemplation
Police calibration
Police temptation
Police radicalization
Police paintings on the wall
Police the dreams of people
Police on the moon

NIGHT

Santana winds
Lingering around my ribcage
My heart contemplates


COCINA

Las verduras rugen
Con las caricias del fuego
Aroma de mañana

MAIL

She moved her toes
Outside the window
In the winter’s sun


SHIP

They wrote my name
Looking for an exit
On a wager
Indicating temperature

AFTERMATH

Dancing with memories
Images made of flesh
Her wintery happy smile

THE WAY HOME


Night ride
The street turns
Into a Van Gogh
Kiss of pavement
On my forehead
