sigh

You know, occasionally, I have to just look at people and go, "Really? That was your final choice? You had other ideas before this one?"

nothing is more humbling than to look with a strong magnifying glass at an
insect so tiny that the naked eye sees only the barest speck and to
discover that nevertheless it is sculpted and articulated and striped with
the same care and imagination as a zebra. apparently it does not occur to
nature whether or not a creature is within our range of vision, and the
suspicion arises that even the zebra was not designed for our benefit.

Weekday

it is a thursday.

it is knock-kneed and sullen in the bed,
fingers trailing and flailing after the clock. it is
an early morning screaming fit, coffee counter-cold
spilled on my t-shirt. thursday

means never having to say I'm sorry, means
a little brush of wing feeding the cats pieces
of chicken off a china plate before

before, before before-- rushing into a
knee-jerk reflex. thursday is

lips to lips to someone's new mouth,
flush red and salting, punctuation to a new
sentencing. we're saving wednesday and friday

for the quiet working days.

"Miedo," Belanova

Miedo,
Te dije bien que no quería estar aquí
No tengo tiempo
Yo solo quiero regresar

Piensa
Que me molesta que no quieras escuchar
Que no lo entiendes
Yo solo quiero regresar

Pero al caminar
Encontré tu boca
Me invitó a bailar
Esa boca rosa

Y al anochecer
Mis labios bailaron
Dentro de un cocktail
La luna y tus labios

my favorite poem ever

ee cummings, "Since feeling is first"

--

since feeling is first
who pays any attention
to the syntax of things
will never wholly kiss you;

wholly to be a fool
while Spring is in the world

my blood approves,
and kisses are a better fate
than wisdom
lady i swear by all flowers. Don't cry
-the best gesture of my brain is less than
your eyelids' flutter which says

we are for each other: then
laugh, leaning back in my arms
for life's not a paragraph

And death i think is no parenthesis
