Blind
...Hot as hell and bloated to burst,
I’m filled with this desire to tame.
You’re wild but I have such a thirst

They are sporting undies sold by their company.

unfamiliar country.
I moved here to teach,
and here I am learning

Songs of flapping birds relocate
Forest rustles hibernate
Skeletal trees shake, underdressed
Mushy, scabbed apples numbly rest
Brisk, harsh breezes pierce l...

Guanica
...You slept in, I walked to the beach
“I love you” an old American hippy yelled
”And the mosquitos do too!”
My big red welts
A souvenir of our night in Guanica

My Uniqlo Vest

And long-sleeved shirts, but still unsure,
As I was heading out the door,

And wore it ...
