Flowers confiscated.

no mamas to love 

bereft of humanity

Autumn's Aura

Season’s sweat sets steadily on the streets
Flowers’ flags float faintly on the floor
Autumn’s aura awash avidly on the acacia

No Matter

Long are the streets
and go somewhere
not like your
fingers
tenderly
in my hand

and no matter it rains
no matter it does

Trees start to blossom 
Rising from the city streets
New York battles on 
Thousands of eyes look upward
Joy in the metropolis

In my distant childhood

we raced small coracles,
formed from walnut shells;
down rivulets in gutters
of our smoggy streets.

We Are a Story

last steps
in different streets
take us to the same place
on the pages of a story
our life we read
in short

we are a story

A blind man, by chance 
With His bare feet
He crossed those, the hot streets 
Beginning glance
He sees as he walks, so he dance

As I walked down the streets of Laredo
I spied a Mexican hot potato
But better by far
A Cuban cigar
With a spicy Comanche tomato
