Trump has kidnapped a head of state,
along with a wife...Its indeed; a first to narrate'
The Maduro duo..And a USA Don.? Sorta
Mafiosi.? Or maybe just a plan; plain
gone all wrong? A
Plan of 'much murktitude' it seems
to me,
The whole world is astounded, Putin wants
Them freed.' This is a doozie.' And ground war
As well.? While prosecuting an illegally held
Couple..I see big oceon swells.' It could be
beyond chaotic.? Oh but didn't Maduro
Tell? Us Yeshua was stratigic leader.?
Could this
Become ace.? Will cohesion weave in
Bolivarian streets.? Unity meet fortitude
Resitance complete.' Will the doller tank
Now?
Just what will be what.? I await Gods
decision...Wow the atmospheres real
Hot.'
CORN HUSKS, PORK, AND *GUAJILLO
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
the corn husk, brittle parchment
from August fields, unfolds its grip—
steam rising from the stove,
like a ghost of summer
inside, masa holds its secrets close:
folded pork stained with cumin and guajillo~
autumn’s first comfort food ,
warmth against the coming cold.
Last night I burned my mom's Tamales !
I can't tell you how much I regret it !
It was about 12:30 p.m when I sat there waiting for them to cook
But waiting wasn't any luck
I was attracted by this beast
It captured me like it knew me ...
I was attacked and out of sight for 2 hours
Last night I burned my moms tamales!
Yes it was 2:00a.m
When my mom screamed, Dulce !
I was awakened by a scream with a smell
I was too dreamy and sleepy I could barley tell
So I decided to make a poem about how
Last night I burned my moms Tamales..
Cooks tamales daily.
Using steamer crock.
Stuff wrapper dough.
Hot tamales door to door
Knocking on doors along the sun baked street
Ten inch sub rotting on the dusty ground
Souls breaking under my feet
In pile of money the politician rolls
Malnourished beg for more
Poaching saints from grassy knolls
Black ants devour the ranch covered sub they’ve found
Sewer gasses emerging from fractured concrete
From the skull of a timber rattler crawls a paraplegic spider
Corn tortillas rolled on the bathroom floor
