Long Moon shaped Poems

"Mi primo" means my cousin in Spanish.
He calls me his "primita"- little cousin.
This is the story of how mi primo
Taught me about the meaning of bread;
Of the meaning of tortillas...
He and I are exchanging languages...

Ten years past since Coyote deceased
The land became fruitful, with the help of a new priest
It was the time of the crescent moon
When the boys would be sent out across the desert dune
To kill a...

She reunited with her lover
He has been away from home
For millennia

She waited alone
In the isolated cold and space
But she did not want the children
To think about their father

Here, I scribble a letter 
to the rhapsodical rose, 
dipping my quill in 
stardust that slips 
like a violet waterfall 
from the tips of 
white oak trees. 
These marigold 
orbs shine with 
shimmering streaks 
of...

You are the warmth that cloaks my fragile structure.
Emotional to pecks and blows; goosebumps to the chill of the autumn breeze.
You are characterized by scars.
Your color washed over me,

Where the honey drips
Like dew from a hibiscus morning
Your tongue was a bud
And I a bird suckled there for my thirst
O crescent moon shaped wings
Parting the silver stream of...

Slit across the midlands of its face, 
The foe of a thousand nights to once again battle
A mind unsettled and heaving, drifting 
Towards the edges of sleep;...

THE CHILL

I feel the chill of my backbone played
Like the opera phantom’s piano. Strange,

Each hair upon my arms, electrically charged.
As the storm lights up my moon-shaped face,

With hollow frightened crescent eyes,
Flickering something wicked, like

A jack-o’-lantern...

until an untimely sudden storm came surging strong,
flowers lost in the chasm, made me rue.

As the dark clouds drifted away at the edge of...

Science improves things, so they say,
can't prove it by me, take the clock
once it swung, and cockco's played
now it's silent, no tick or tock.

Old clocks clucked each tick and each tock
tongue to roof, they made...

carried away on the last rays
of autumn sun in a moon-shaped pool
carried away like cosmic driftwood
she's having a pocket honeymoon
because
there's a coat of scarlet velvet
somewhere in her Estonian hair
having a picnic in a coffin 
that's...

Black photograph
Naked eye in flight
I'm by the river's mouth
Where they drowned us shut

My life in shadows
I won't have it any other way
The will of sunspots
The chase between night and day

Black photograph
Evil eye against my plight
I'll...
