Angel in Mexico
Angel in Mexico
An emaciated woman in a Mexican daze
Carries a baby in arms still strong
Enough to love this child she bears
Wife’s bodhisattva halo embraces the nativity
of a Mesoamerican Madonna holding her baby
in a circle of love.
Beatified in luminescence
Ascetic body lost to hunger
Golden daughter of creation whose son shines
Like the gold-leafed pages
In her book of divine love
His nursery rhyme eyes
Are a shanty-town of tears
My Spanish doesn’t cover her “Leche, leche”
But my wife puts...

Suicide and Revenge
My brother fell in love with a lady who was trying to make her ex-boyfriend jealous.
She only pretended to love him and we were all shocked when he decided to tell us.
After using him to reconcile with her boyfriend, it broke my brother's heart.
He was used and thrown away like an old shoe and the pain tore him apart.
I will never forget the day when he died.
He was so hurt that he committed suicide.
My brother pretended like he wasn't badly hurt and he kept his pain hid.
All of our family members are deeply saddened because of what he did.
Our sister...

"Would he do it again"
There was a time,
he didn't have a thought about life
No opinions on what happened
good or bad
no choice on what to do or how to feel happy or sad
It was a dark time in his young life adulthood was forced upon him
at a very young age
his emotions had to remain hidden
he masked his pain
and suppressed the rage
His own well-being wasn't the only
he had to look after
For 3 little Angels depended on his care watching over them, keeping them safe
that's just how it was
for him life wasn't fair ...

Sisters
What have I done?
You were supposed to be my charge
I failed
You looked to me
Seeking
I raged
Turned away
I understand why
Now
You are left with scars
Now
You were supposed to be my charge
I failed
You looked to me
Seeking
I raged
Turned away
I understand why
Now
You are left with scars

sisters of three
inside of the sacred circle of sisters there is love
an internal storm builds
memories calm
ten years since our meeting
we come together once more
souls binding, intertwining remembering when we were young
I laugh my sisters eyes smile
do you remember when?
I convinced you to cut your dolls hair
I laugh so hard, you wait till I sleep and took vengeance
mermaid swimming at midnight
swinging from branches as Jane of the jungle
escaping to our grandma's yard our own secret garden
our days on...
an internal storm builds

awesome sister
I can tell her my biggest secrets.
She says, “Cool.”
She doesn’t gasp.
She doesn’t dismiss.
She accepts truths
like catching a baseball out of the sky
with one hand.
Gracefully.
She is taller than me,
but younger than me,
and we’ve been best friends since a decade ago
when they gave us separate bedrooms.
We make mischief and cookies and we talk shit.
We are forever on the same side.
I heard her call me “sibling”
on the phone
to a stranger
in a semi-frantic situation. ...

18
It's been so long
I look at the calendar
And the date that is
Getting close again
And I just can't believe
How many years have gone by
And still every year
I cry for what was lost
And what could have been
18 is just too young
To die
I miss you still Shar
It hurts my heart that you're
Gone
I look at the calendar
And the date that is
Getting close again
And I just can't believe
How many years have gone by
And still every year
I cry for what was lost
And what could have been
18 is just too young
To die
I miss you still Shar
It hurts my heart that you're
Gone

Navajo for "Older Sister"
This goes out to every woman who has lost another woman to the hands of cruel men
Navajo, or no. I, an outsider to the Navajo community, was raised in Arizona and befriended this wonderful young lady. I could only watch this beautiful young girl who was kept away from the rest of her people by her abusive father to include him keeping her from female family members, become a product of her hellish environment. I can't help but feel I have failed her somehow. I tried suggesting she moved away from the men who had threatened and beat her and...

Darkspots
when I was a young tot
she curled my bangs
and burned me hot
skin sizzling, my
emotions toward her
kept on burning
as I held up a mirror
to flames, eternally
~ ~ ~
darkspots emerging
on aging skin
marketed products
to hide the sin
casting shadows
on truths within
reminders of all
that has been
she curled my bangs
and burned me hot
skin sizzling, my
emotions toward her
kept on burning
as I held up a mirror
to flames, eternally

A genuine moment
Know that I am happy for you,
I only wish the best for you too.
I haven't felt physical love and care for months now.
When you hugged me,
I felt genuine love for me and I don't know how.
How can this be?
I thought no one really cared about me.
I used to feel like true love has faded from the world.
That people want love, but don't want to fight,
for it.
They don't want a war.
They just want the victory.
I thought they only liked certain parts of me.
But when...
I only wish the best for you too.
I haven't felt physical love and care for months now.
When you hugged me,
I felt genuine love for me and I don't know how.
How can this be?
I thought no one really cared about me.
I used to feel like true love has faded from the world.
That people want love, but don't want to fight,
for it.
They don't want a war.
They just want the victory.
I thought they only liked certain parts of me.

The middle class.
She sits narrow in the lane
Watching butterfly with khichdi
Tasting yellow years of harvest
The man across the work
Of labour
He sits with his children
Chasing the castle nuts
And bits teaching them young.
Watching butterfly with khichdi
Tasting yellow years of harvest
The man across the work
Of labour
He sits with his children

It'd be so easy to leave but I can't
I awake to sunlight stabbing between my eyelids
Jabbing me out of a beautiful dream
In it I had runaway and was selfish for once
One selfish choice made up of a thousand decisions
But here I am awake, stomach in knots
My hands shaking as I turn over
Closing my eyes tightly, curling in on myself
My mind frantically searching for what I had
Just one, just one moment I had escaped
Yes, I've chosen this life and I know
I won't be walking away any time soon
There are cages you can't escape from
It's more complicated than picking a lock...
Jabbing me out of a beautiful dream
In it I had runaway and was selfish for once
One selfish choice made up of a thousand decisions
But here I am awake, stomach in knots
My hands shaking as I turn over
Closing my eyes tightly, curling in on myself
My mind frantically searching for what I had
Just one, just one moment I had escaped
Yes, I've chosen this life and I know
I won't be walking away any time soon
There are cages you can't escape from
It's more complicated than picking a lock...
