Crumble
brothels sprout
flesh peddlers collect their fees
selling daughters
in twos and threes
Lopez or Diaz
lazy or defiant
escaped
in polluted lagoons
the virus spreads

Dancing with the dead
priests absolve the devils
in their mist
Pilar sold her virginity
for a few bars of gold
wrapped in an old ladies hatred
she murdered her vows

Mexico is a land of smiles
the knife only glints
in the Aztec sun
as they bury you
after eating your heart
Pilar Lopez Diaz, thief, day of the dead Acambaro

Ayer fui a verte
después de las diez
tu novio portaba su chamarra de universidad.

Somos colegas
mas yo no compré la chaqueta
y de haberme quedado por unos segundos más
le hubiera visto abrazarte
con esa prenda roja del amor que te tengo.

Alien Lady


The girl next door to me,
Is an alien I think.
She jumped across the border,
And landed in my street.


She came from Mexico,
And I don’t really know.
But I heard the tale around our way,
That the girl is good to go.


She sits there in the window, with her lamp light on,
Sat at her computer naked, waiting for a download.
The latest rock band and the latest song,
She dreams of them at night when she is all alone.


I love you Mary Jane,
The other guys may think you’re plain.
But I know what your ***** mind is like,
So you know I would never look away.

Look at her,
she's remembering when she was native,
when she was Spain,
when she was Mexico
There she is now,
fondly thinking of her future;
the one where she falls into the sea.
Tengo el pecho lleno de calor,
el aire me lo dijo y me canto una canción.
Tengo el alma y grita a veces,
aveces me oculto entre la gente,
no por que tema a mostrarme,
es que prefiero pasar inadvertido,
para cuando el viento me señale,
haberlo antes sorprendido.

Las voces en mi mente
susurran como las ramas de un arbol,
me lo digo a mi mismo,
y en mi interior resueno;
aveces solo aveces
sueño con ella,
aún que ya no recuerdo su voz.
Aún recuerdo la lluvia,
el camino a mi casa,
un suspiro, un minuto de alavanza
y el dibujo de un sonrisa en mi cara.

Si escribo es para romperme en pedazos,
para que alguien, tan solo alguien
comparta mi canto,
por que no quiero volar solo,
quiero surcar los cielos
con un coro de voces que brillen
voces oscuras,
otros matices,
que sigan mi vuelo
o que me muestren el suyo.
