Watch this Hispanic street punk
Furiously drive home his prayer
Frowning and sweating Latin funk
While the blond hippie shakes down her hair...

so much depends
upon

a book unread
the cracks

of its binding
its word

its phrasing

so much depends
upon

theming of phrases
the meaning
of words

take care, take care...

Carlos was a world famous matador

   He had suffered a ton of blood and gore

      He'd made lots of dinero

         Tanglin' with old el toro

            Carlos retired to be 'bullied' no more...

Carlos clever carnivore, courageous cosmonaut chimp
Tried twice to turn twisters, for he was an incredible imp.
Twisters tossed him toward Pluto, he went up in the air.
Whether he comes back or not, few of us gave a care....

Carlos and Hanna, husband and wife,
your examples taught me about life,
honoring family, marriage, and friends.
Much is lost with your premature ends, 
and though it's too late to let you know - 
Oh my God, I miss you so....

Constant chewing, carefree child
Blowing bubbles with a smile
Foaming flavors from his face
Lets you know he loves the taste
Constant chewing, carefree child
Blowing bubbles with a smile
Popping sounds shaking his hips
Carlos, clean your copper lips...

stops 
bleeding on paper
I 
grab my brushes

Dark night, cold rain
you and I standing there
beyond our understanding
the ocean our domain

in front of it we shiver
trying to decipher

Subconscious mind is showing us
the dream has taken over us
what is the meaning of the signs
Have we met in another life?

Love in silence
love in madness
love in ignorance and blindness

Love in coldness
love in pain
in disappointment and regret

Love insulted
love abused
love that loves even confused

Love forgives
does not forget
Love is stronger than hate!

Carlos Mongrut (08.17.14)...

What shames death, more than a man who refuses to die once born?
So much so that when death claims, the aim is unknown, 
When the frame lies down and the words simmer, who, the winner?
With more life than Death can take; Never blink-
Into earth goes a Man we will unearth life on end!...

Celestial things massacre time  
  with their importance

Like Carlos Santana playing
  ‘Black Magic Woman’

Earthly things embody the moment
 within their transformation

The caterpillar—the butterfly,
  the wood before the fires glow

So Alluring,
      Bright and green,
Wavy dark and red petals,
       So  Triumphant
       Oh How lovely!
Eyes closed,deeply inhaling
     Hoping for that scent...
Oh no! It's the art of man
    A tailor made Rose.
 It can't delight my heart

I ate the rest of the ice cream drumsticks
I’m sorry, but I couldn’t resist
So cold, it melted in my mouth

I played on your computer today
I know you told me not too,
But it was so much fun, sorry

I broke your iPod yesterday
I dropped it into a bucket of water
I feel really bad, 
But I got a new high score on doodle jump...

-William Carlos Williams

For you
I hold out-
a figment of thought,

like a twig holds out juice
from the fig tree,

from branches, trunks
and roots, 
from the ground
and people draped
all around
like fallen fruit 
forgotten
by their trees

For you,
the day comes
the way it leaves

a taste of fig
that was never there...

Your hand holding my hand

Your eyes locked into mine

Our lips slightly wet from our kisses

Your body singing my bodies song

Your heart beating in time with mine

Our minds thinking our same thought

Your mouth speaking my words

Your mine and I'll forever be yours


For Lorena & Carlos, 2008. May you have a happy long lasting marriage....
