theory about my

we are
both in an

in the common

planning 
a mental
escape...

her songs amongst the old rocks & mounts

thinking like Stein but
drinking beer from a stein
remembering German days
not Paris

contradicting and refuting 
Gertrude's flowery words 
for
a muse is a muse is 

but 
don't 
include 
my Musa...

the first time
in her life she
screamed yet
not a word but
a primal sound 
as if waking from
hibernation
a coming into
from out of
the cave
being
not knowing
gestation

Feliz Cumpleanos mi Musa!!!...

awake but
looking into 
her dreamy

eyes

my ice
has melted
as i feel i've felt

love

in one
of its
distorted

forms

i am
forloinly
beside myself

alone

with my
thoughts
and poems

mi amor
mi Diosa
mi Musa

you...

te extrano
mi Musa
te extrano
lo siento

not knowing when
to stop
the flow
of the drink

lo siento
por favor
for not saying
what i think instead

writing words
in pathetic
poetic
form

half heartedly
until they turn
into
the absurd...

i know
it's her
translator
sometimes
referring her

self as she
but she is
an out of
worldly
being

she is
as her is
to me but
possessivly
suggesting my

but not meaning
mine even when
using "my Musa"
for she willingly
gives me poetry

that is
hers...

mi Musa and i
try to speak
though confusedly 
interjecting 
si is si
in Espanol
in Italiano
but oui
is not we
but si

but noi
is closer
then nosotros
but most of the time
the time it takes
to take us
to a place
that makes sense
only leaves
dead cell batteries...

my muse
is not my
wife

i would
like but
she is

more then
twice my
age younger

a smile
raising
more

warmth
then a
sunrise

eyes
that shine
animalistic

mystically
hypnotizing
me

but breathing
the poetic
breath

that all
great muses
do

and
she
does...

off she wrote
as if a doctor's
script to which
i had to translate

making out
certain words
that i needed
to sound out

loud making
my mouth
contort in
snorts

yet when all was
said and done
the note she
wrote was

simply
poetry
for what
else would

mi Musa
write
for
me...

do you know
how to throw
a lasso

do you not
know how
to tie a knot

knitting a
whip with
your brows

your brows
you can use
to beat me

but treat me
as if you
wanted

me
since
language

of the body
is different
from speech

but
to each
their own

but
you
own

me...

Onda

Dona Dalva
vai como a 
onda do mar, 
ilumina
a beleza 
do dia-a-dia, 
na pura e 
doce lembrança.

Dona Dalva,
é nossa musa 
maior, com 
sua eterna 
aliança de unir
o pensar 
com a ação 
que se
agiganta.

Dona Dalva, 
ela sempre faz
do muito bem,
ao Bem maior
mais e mais....

every day
all times
me with mi
Musa DIOSA

she is
not my ego
or even altra
ego for she is

realities' pageantry
though not here
in an amusing
sort of way

she stays
in a computer
age where one 
that i would've

given
she can't
give what
needs to be

gave 
so let's
say it's a given
so unto you i give

my love
my, love...

i know a muse
who knows me
when we kiss
she breathes
poetry

with this verb
there's a third
person
present
not me

the poetry
itself not
selfishly
becomes
another

expressively
unendingly
beyond
reality
simply

being
more then
words until
i can't
speak

no need
for the
senses
reel in
dance

when we
kiss
i never
close my
eyes...

mi Musa uses
a translator to
express her
words to
me

typing what she
wants to say
rapido makes
for the words
of inspiration

as i write this
she has boarded
an airplane to take
her cake and eat it too
birthday vacation 

so she wrote and
who more poetic than
a true Musa would breathe
inspiring me with her words
"I'm already mounted on the yummy"...

i decided while
trying to find a
vein trying to
get a fix of the
mother load

that vein that
runs through
my very body
rich and pure
worth more

then any oro
for she without
vanity is never
vain though i
needle ready

need to get
her into my
life my very
life's blood
because

i'm an abuser
of my Muse
which she
prefers mi
Musa

which i
gladly
use
her
she

is my
addiction...

what i write
is wrong if
in confusion
i lead myself
down the wrong
path but perhaps

some day the wind
will change and
we'll be on
the same
horizon
line

so looking and reading
my contract there is
to be no contact
with my muse
but it is i who
to call her

mi Musa
and gloriously
i do and would do
it again only spilling
the cart that carries my
wine...did i see that mule staggering...

J-eopardy of feeling the pain
O-bviously causes distress; 
S-ilent sickness in spread
E-mploys the mysterious menace.
P-andemic jeopardy's threat
H-orribly sends the brutal beast; 
I-nfectionconquers the world, 
N-orth, South, West, and 
E-ast.

M-itigate the dreaded danger, 
U-pend the morbidity; 
S-top the rabid risk, 
A-nd abate the jeopardy.
