The Deflowering
excerpt from a Mayan love poem
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Remove your clothes;
let down your hair;
become as naked as the day you were born—
virgins!

The Receiving of the Flower
excerpt from a Mayan love poem
loose translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch

Let us sing overflowing with joy
as we observe the Receiving of the Flower.
The lovely maidens beam;
their hearts leap in their *******.
Why?

Because they will soon yield their virginity to the men they love!

Grow not
In the vases

They deflower us
They pick us

Let us grow
Roots touching
Mother earth

This soil
Is fertile
And vivid
in the rain

I flowered her
Digging to the end of her earth
Parting the lips of her lines
I flowered her
With my poems
Thrusting so deep in her heart

Somewhere in the distance, someone is singing



I've got the dank smell of earth plugging  my nose
It hurts so bad, so bad
and everyone swears to God you wanna know
but I'm a bit busy trying to do this on my own


In the night, filled with nothing but the reek of human sweat
I've been trying to sleep, it won't let me yet
In a garden, filled with not even flower heads
a scared little girl writes

I've been writing to you, letters in crayon
flinging them over a wall
and as I sit and rock and you don't reply, I wonder
did you even read them at all?!
loosely connected to "garden wall"

Bleeding sounds like
an exotic pleasure
only if you want to be
inside me
