Late in the race

At this point in life, My life, 
I must admit my ever lateness
April is no exception

FUN?

Yoko Ono screams Fun on a billboard
War is Fun for those waging it, a writer finds
Could that be why the world is burning?

The end of a road


I see my career in shambles 
Like a train wreck on arid land
Could the dessert bloom in Spring?

PrimeroDeMayo

El primer día del mes está terminando
No hay en el aire ese optimismo
Con el que Abril había empezado

P&L

I know of many presidents
The little voice in the back seat recalls
Which one talked about peace and love?



Blue sky

Teetering at the edge of bankrupcy
I try and I walk
Towards that promised blue sky

Preview

Scooting under the intense spring flowering
I had today a preview of things to come
Not again, rules, more rules Daddi?

Embrace

Maybe it is time for me to embrace
My fears and insecurities
As the land welcomes the Spring

First, redux

Only a fool
Would take this for Spring
Winter, leave the stage!

Is there?

Is there a writer in me
Hidden fearful oppressed
Waiting to bloom again?

Late start

A friend just reminded me
Of a public demonstration
Decades ago, 
33 years to be precise
Listening to who then was president
Announcing the invation
Of far away islands
I was there, by a statue
With friends calling this idiot
A drunk, an intoxicated person
Sending our country down a crazy path
A path of war, where the other would be killed
Not him, the drunk president

And suddenly I realize
That one of those little heads
At the base of the white pyramid
Screaming
One of those heads
One of them
It was me.

July First

Unsolicited, unfriendly
the first of the month came
and left us alone 
sad 
naked

So long April ...

A good songs show
As he springs into his third season
All is good at home


A Fidel, mi otro Abuelo



Te fuistes cuando tenía nueve
Apenas pude conocerte
Supe de tus luchas y pobrezas
Tu bondad y entrega
Tu carrera tardía
Creo que tengo tu genio
Huraño, montañes 
Las fotos nuestras 
Son lo que queda
De los momentos que pasé contigo. 
Y recuerdo la mañana
En que papá llegó llorando
Llovía en la ciudad de las acequias
Te fuistes con la lluvia
Como huyendo de tu encierro
Nunca antes ni después 
Lo vi llorar. 



The rain drop

The pleasure of walking
Under cold pouring spring rain
Is very short lived.

A mi Abuelo

Te recuerdo de repente en la noche
En la mañana y en la siesta
Hace treinta años que te fuistes
Y recordarte me duele tanto
Tanto como cuando te lloré
Solo en aquel río lejano
Solo en aquella noche de verano
Y el dolor se hace suave caricia
Suave gracia
Te fuistes pero estás
Paradójico.

Monday otra vez

The train stops 
The grey station finale
How did I make it today?

Con mi hijo, feliz


Plantamos un árbol
Comimos panchitos en el calor
Caminamos por el barrio

Dos Gigantes

Sábado de trabajo
Descarrilado por el dialogo
De dos gigantes
En un video recuperado
Del fondo del tiempo
Como llamados por su partida
Neruda y Gabo
Poesía y novela
Intimidad y Bistek 
Según sus palabras

Not Mine

A powerful enegy 
A group planting trees far all 
A sense of not owning
