Long Dominican Poems

Otto`s life is not
their British
sickular motto
Grue is his banner
left by his
blue-eyed Brit mom
left long by one of
those hated South
African Paki
His guilty pleasures
in Green Street have

many such Aussies in
mulberry bushes
Yet he shovels the

and the knights and the peasants lined up for communion.
I chanted the...

This crazy rush hour traffic, traffic
like swimming the Caribbean Sea,
in these streets you don't wanna be.
Headlights brighter than spaceships,
spaceships, these drivers make you
wanna flip, rush hour you'd wanna skip

Many hurrying and rushing, rushing

Til 2 A.M.

Why do I take from the poor, for the rich?
Why do I steal from those who I love?

Don't act like I don't remember, Mom,
When I disrespected my gifts from you.
I told you that Saint Nick...

From the mountain's peak; the wooden flutes sound
the lamas leap and the water falls-- clear,
mindful, the wind's play on the Quechua's ground. 

The majesty of the Andes astounds
for from behind the clouds, the peaks reappear....

Tears Streaming Down My Half Dominican Half Puterican Face,

A LEGEND BETTER THAN HAKIMI
 
Back in '94 partying, Gabriel met Christina,
frolicking and they really got personal. 
They married though she's 30 years younger
and were happily married for 20 years
despite the fact they weren't peers.

However,...

Our poetry...
A thousand times been read
Syllables contort tumbling 
Under covers
Free verse unfettered 
Beneath hot breath
Brail symbolic softens 
As soon as alabaster wets
Lips’ reciting merely, what is 
Or should be heartfelt said

Our poetry...
Sapidus is to taste
Licking...

Amelia says that love is like an old Dominican couch, still wrapped in plastic, being 
pushed off a thirty-three story project building and waiting at the bottom with buoyancy 
to catch it. Patricia says love...

That spring- I remember it well.
At age ten, I was facing big changes:
moving to a new city, larger house,
strange neighborhood, no friends;
even more stressful, another school,
new teachers, a new beginning.

But, those teachers were so kind,
so...

She sent back the last order, as well.
This time, she shook her head 
like a dog in the rain,
like a posh-frock woman 
having "a spell."
The brimming broth, she said,

and stung...

My first time ever feeling the unsettling effects of an earthquake

Albeit, it was ONLY 5.8 on the Richter Scale

It was darkness in the middle of the night
Darkness with a small night light
Was I dreaming of the twilight
All I remember — I was falling then hit the floor
And then there was blood, red, red...

After the Dominican with it's heat and humidity

This is absolute heaven on earth

Temps in the low seventies with bright sunny skies

AND NO HUMIDITY

Humidity's a killer as you all well know

You can be sitting absolute still

i saw the thickening
dark velvet cloud
approaching the place
upon which my little soul
dreams of the nada
that is near to come

below it lay the clear
yellowish ocean that
reflects the burning Sun
upon its cruel waves
that know only how to

Finally getting back into the swing of it

Holidaying in the Dominican for a week

Sure did wonders for my psyche

Appreciating what I have a whole lot more

Aside from the absolutely gorgeous

All-inclusive resort we stayed in
