i miss you mujer
eres cesped, palida, eres fuego,
soy.
amidst the mist of my mind
you are sight
you are flight
si me graduo
and teach by the beach
sere tuyo
andare with my suit y mis guaraches
y aunque nunca fui tuyo tuyo
you made me mine mine mine
i miss you like a good dream
como un comal.
soy un sexto
tu ausencia chicano me hace
pero chilango quiero ser
and me, I am neither
I just am.
Nobody has loved he
With the fervor and ardor
that he would another
no body
loved this body
no body, tried to
understand the beauty of distance
the greatness of space
nobody asked, no body asked
so nobody knew
so marched along he
to a place found within
care not why no body cared
felt enough for all the nots that nobody did.
She walks one step at a time like breathing.
Her throat raspy like crushed ice.
Her endless eyes, tired of sameness
Her throat raspy like crushed ice.
Her endless eyes, tired of sameness
wished for ballads, bachatas.
Sick (like the color green) of recycled air
wants potpourri, mountain spring water,
gusts of wind.
Her hair, shaped like wrinkles
was my tangled web.
“One day” she says
“I will live the life I plan
and leave the life I live.
One day I will tell life what I want
and life
will stop giving me orders.”
Vicky, who does so bad at going unnoticed.
Who sways like a song
left to right, right to left
right past me.

Vicky, who made a house of room corners
and never once dreamed of me.
