{June 20, 2009}   hybrid
what dna
is left
open
pollinated
potential
what
ear
of corn
able
standing
to seed
itself
i love
you
but
i love
myself
more
not a
whore
not a woman
not a bit
piece
but a
modern
peace
a family
feud
a hue
taken
shaken
i am whole
holy
i hold
dreams
in loosely
clenched
fists
choke
the misery
out of a
hybrid
nation
knowing
you elation
after
bitter
bruised
starvation
take back
your
names
your
words
your
power
take back
the longest night
the shortest day
comic character
give away
your
grave


{June 19, 2009}   amended
gypsy
circus
ladies
mint
condition
clowns
just
cum
all
over
just
join
me
in this
joint
i’ll point
out
the scenery
but you
must bring
your own
blunts
your own
fish gadgets
imagery
the greatest
show on earth
worth more
than birth
a show of
hand pizzaz
jazz a show
of snow flow
song spirit
a show of wild
home grown
endorphine
where the
curtain
caresses
corrupts
ignites


{June 19, 2009}   palabras
all i’ve spoken
before
all i’ve spun
done paid
those i’ve
laid with
and missed
aqui
ahora
te quiero
no say
don’t know
what
i want
between
my legs
not sure
where
i’m going
this place
i face
fractured
manufactured
a trench a stench
a formiddable
uncharted
tributary


{June 19, 2009}   solace
and then my bones break
you know
pain gain
feign fetch catch
love lust
this gust
of guts
teeters
doubts
i’m full
inflated
los siento
my bites
abrasions
can’t endure
being prey


{June 15, 2009}   choice

i choose
you
and him
her
i choose
a pill
of hormones
over
motherhood
i choose
the dusk
over sunrise
i choose
to turn things on
that i may not use
i choose
where i spend
my time
money
myth
i choose
man
woman
serpent
silent
lament
i choose
my muse
delegate
fellow
fools
i choose
to love
live
engrave
save
pave
new
fate



{June 15, 2009}   home

on my back
one handful
of mornings
i’ve wanted
to stop time
bliss dis queer
revenge i would
have loved you
as a lover
but unrequited
is the story
of my life

{June 15, 2009}   moving
pop
weasel
in the hen
house
my spouse
my mate
culture
it’s not
fate
it’s fucked
you are
clever
not
kind
you don’t
know my
mind
you don’t
read
you ski
from hither
to hell
that spell
i place
gardenia
nasturtium
purple potato
heirloom
amidst
hybrid
heretic
among
hoodlum
bitten
bruised
i swoon
produce a
pittance
of you


{June 15, 2009}   lament
snake bite
bitter poison
take it
turn
medicinal
fertilized
this frenzy
i thought
i said
goodbye
i thought
i could
listen
glean
nina
mi ojos
verde
sometimes
blue
azul
i witness
my death
i feed
on the yin
of post
partum
lament
women
bleed
women
heed
the man
in town
super
comic
curdled
an oasis
a rapture
in enferno
bedded
nesting
in your
lion’s
den


{June 15, 2009}   cash crop
in the mountains
i bled
high on
the sky
the miserable
moods
of nature
the mess
i caressed
death
and now
my birth
untouchable
volcanic
what muse
can handle
these hips
lips my
moment
comes
in the grass
and barbed
wire at night
ripped jeans
tripped soul
burrowing
in love
i never want
to see
this place
by daylight
my friend
we met
while our
bones
were still
growing
i miss you
in this silent
fight
