Our Saint confessed lie in Iglésia !

Moments Are Melancholy
Moments are melancholy
Because, lives have been lost
People are in a state of bewilderment
Dithered, confused, and distraught
Nothing but a chaotic scene
Filled with lots of bitterness
With tragic events in London and Colombia
Many people are sullen and filled with emptiness...

Coffee House 900th Poem
The beans come from tropical South America.
The biggest producers are Brazil and Colombia.
When you drink that first cup early in the day,
just remember your beverage traveled a long way.
With all the coffee houses in town everywhere,
do you thing their patrons give a damn or care?

Casa Della Pasta
from a street
in Cartagena
stepping
suddenly
into a
restaurant
so Italian
surely i was
in a time warp
for i
i was still
in Colombia but
fooled by the food
so authentico
and even
the wine was
from Italy so
after paying
my bill
instead
of using
the usual
gracias i just
had to say
grazie...

A Series of Three
#1:
synapses firing
my closed eyes see July 4th
please just let me sleep
#2:
my mind's still working
stop thought but think only of sleep
find Colombia
#3:
my wife hid the gun
not mine but the other one
i don't have bullets...

What a Curtain Bisbee Has
What a curtain Bisbee has
That keeps Mexico subdued
And influences the lands
From which the Sierra was hewn.
What purple folds keep Oaxaca
As a fortress in the sky
Breaking only in Panama
To let a vessel dredge by.
No courier have I on hand
Except the initial breezes that blow
So a whisper I channel into it:
Give to Colombia my hello....

Tragedy At Sea
Natalia Andrea Larranaga Fajardo
Here lies one who died pitifully
She would have sought anonymity,
But publicity stole away her privacy
She threw herself off a ship at sea.
Trying to salvage her favorite flip-flops
And got sucked into the vessel’s props.
Written December 4, 2022
[as reported by San Andres, Colombia
newspaper on November 27, 2022]...

Epitaph
Impromptu
Ofelio
lives in a box
in a basement
in a house
in a city
in Colombia
not knowing
he's a turtle
never
seeing another
other
turtle
head hidden
in his shell
selling
himself off
as if
sleeping
but he's
peeking
at a moto
trying to find
how to climb
like the gato
once seated
on the seat
he turns the key
now moving faster
then his feet
he dreamily drives
out
of Cali...

Coffee Cup
My coffee still proud
halfway from the mouth.
Golden in light.
It's glow from the south.
A cup made of paper
rolled to a cone
with a lustre of candy
that's sweet and alone.
Invisible vapours
float on the surface
sealing heat in
for their miniature purpose.
Staggered clear bubbles
floating on top.
Some of them larger
that some are going pop.
All with a flavour
as rich as the beans.
Thanks for Colombia,
the pickers and machines....

Fall From Grace
I am walking with grace
Shimmering crown on my head
Crowd is rejoicing
My phenomenal moment
All of a sudden
I fall from my poise
The magic is gone
I can’t take this anymore
The dreamy crown
Take away from my head
Freezing to shame
This embarrassing moment
Dethroned after minutes
This is a disgrace
Got nothing to face
I’m dying inside
Note: I really feel bad for Ms. Colombia. Anyway, congratulations Ms. Philippines (Ms.Universe)...

Narrative
Tragedy of Intelligent Man
Sandy nations of Arabia
bushes of Tropical Congo
rocky lands of Afghanistan
the dry soils of Somalia
waters of the Mediterranean
bush land of Karamoja*
forestland of Colombia
ragged dress of ozone layer
swampland of South Sudan
homeland of Aborigines
All dance to rhythm of same music
tragedy of intelligent man!
*Karamoja is the remotest
part of Uganda where the people called
Karamojong depend on cattle and nature!
Many die of hunger in a nation of plenty!...

Ball Bearings
i'm confused
not knowing
where to go
what to do
my compass
needle sticks
out reading
south by
south

google map
and my gps
suggest
another
place
as

where
the X
may be
yet directing
me are directions
that are directionally
my instincts telling me
you are
exactly
where
you are
meant

calculations
with sexton and
star eyed gazing
the Americas weren't
discovered by Columbus
so Colombia isn't spelled

Coffee
Without a little bit in their morning cup,
most people find it difficult to wake up.
Before leaving the house and heading for work,
they put a scoop in the pot and let it perk.
Making a quantity of the homemade brew,
is what most morning risers will do.
Nearly all the ground beans come from South America,
specifically from nations like Brazil and Colombia.
Just remember when you consume your quantity each day,
the beans to make your beverage came a long, long, way!
