Night’s Song
The night cuts you open as you sit her waiting for a lover an avocado in hand
The Elephant and the Dove, they called you two, But what can be said about your sister?
A fish finds himself licked hollow from the ocean's salt in the long throat of a pelican.
Downtown New York, in a panaderia, she kneads the bread when hours before she woke to a handful of hair.
On the lemon drop tapestry, the grandfather clock ticks away her shedding eyelashes, a spider's whisper.
He watches the gringa type—he doesn't give a damn if she knows how to write—can she make love?
A soldier comes home to find his wife on the patio chair, her curves tearing away from the afternoon's sweat.
Last night I met a man who smoked twice as much as you. Last night I met a man who loved twice as much as you.
The doctors are worried, Frida; they tell me you're in love with a communist covered in blood: Diego's paint.
