Mas Poemas

Haven't been studious in my updating. Here are a few poems.

Poems From the DART, 9/29/08
1.
face pockmarked by
years laboring in the sun, yet
you too are beautiful-
for you have lived your life
uncloistered;
bereft of ignorant intellectualism
and with your hands
you spoke to the dirt
and it spoke back
true illiterate prophet of the soil

2.
graceful curves your ear
below hair pulled back,
carefully clean and combed

so beautiful are the arches
that span your face
an Alhambra formed
of flesh

but all of it put to lie
by the ink stain etched
on the vestigial wing
of your shoulder

the dressed up scream
of a madman who
could not bear
the overwhelming beauty
of life

3.
stalactites on an old
neck
water of time drip drips
dripping
etching calcium deposits
in flesh
