visions of death
pass before me:
hawk woman-boy
followed by
Death's shadow
followed by
gaping walrus black man
followed by
twin ogre abuelitas.
an omen,
a station of the cross,
golden tableau:
a homeless man,
an Untouchable,
a pid-geon
with arms stretched to Heaven,
dying
beside his shopping cart chariot.

"LES ROIS"
el otro bodhisattvo
y San Slumber
et l'esprit de dandelion --
LES ROIS du paradis ici.
une fille d'été
and Marley child,
sweet boy --
tumbling and stepping,
Father only watching.
rascal acrobats
of the city architecture
tap staccato morse code poems
on gummed black concrete.
on foot through these hoods and barrios,
my home:
(dark Achilles blood
soaks my sock, stains my boot)
