Doutor Lauro
Vejo-te
como o 
vento livre, 
em mar sem fim,
verdadeiro 
consigo, 
sem amarras
do ruim.

Sábio, sabe,
que o amanhã
é uma semente, 
plantada em
cada instante,
e a mudança 
é a mariposa, 
na vida 
que segue.


Epiphany

Evening’s shadows start to drift
Down to the valley far below
Like glaciers made of amethyst
Crowned by the mountain’s alpenglow

Golden poppies and mariposas
Offer up their humble cups of dew
And I realize now why regal roses
Never make me think of you.

While You Slept

Mariposa lilies floated
cool white on the incandescent 
embers of their core.

You shivered, pale as a silver
fever. 103 degrees. For days
you hallucinated Mercury.

Out here in sunshine, the world 
has been spinning us dizzy. 
Wake up and join the dance.

yam yam I went to the store to buy six eggs
and twelve cans of club soda
campari tomatoes smiling at me
I love my negroni and can make a mean martini
spinach came along to make a tortilla
mariposa a butterfly 
walking the street with my bag
they chant we love your tattoos
nothing like the **** we see today
art

Mariposa

Butterfly
painted lady
spread your wings

Thighs of color
pose your love

I light
candle flame
for you
I am
consumed by fire

Since my house
has burned down
I can see
the moon more clearly

I gaze upon
your Eden
falling upon me

I run blindly
to you
as you mount
flowers
in my garden

As I hold you
in my arms
do not
let me feel
your departure
upon my hand...


By Any Other Name

In Spain, it’s mariposa.
In Poland, you’ll hear motyl.
One says borboleta in balmy Brazil.

Pulali are a plenty around exotic Nepal. 
“Come here pretty farfalla!” in Italy, 
You would call.

Hawaiians sight pulelehuas 
While strolling in the sand.
A child would chase a chocho if home is in Japan.

No matter how one says or spells it,
I always breathe a sigh,
Every time I behold a beautiful butterfly.

Me Encanta La Lluvia

camino el silencia
una caida en el techo
redoble de tambor
estoy libre ahora
como un pajaro
la amo
estoy dando la bien venida
ellas es amable
el baile de tierra seca
su toque de amor
lagrimas de alegra
soy libre como
una mariposa
flotando ahora
abora la boca
a su generosidad
ella me cubre
sus besos humedos
ocultar mis lagrimas
en su regazo
ando en la calle
de la felicidad
orquesta de su viento suave
