I walked in the land without shoes,
I broke my toes
And I bled my nose.
I went back home
With broken toes
And a bleeding nose.
I entered to my room,
And I found it like a boom.
My mom gave me a slap,
And my brother start to clap.
I went to school,
And everything was cool.
There was a boy,
That plays with a toy.
Toy, toy, toy played by a boy.
Then, I saw a teacher,
That looks like a fisher.
And I screamed, because I wanted the ice-cream.
Well, this was me,
When I was only me.

A jealous glass
of jostling waves
sits alone
on the bedside table
music
fire
lingered lyricism
of passions
mouthed
we own our selves
our bodies
and time
I am never more woman
than when you
are inside of me

Here, at the end of the world,
the flowers bleed
as if they were hearts,
the hearts ooze a darkness
like india ink,
& poets dip their pens in
& they write.

"Here, at the end of the world,"
they write,
not knowing what it means.
"Here, where the sky nurses on black milk,
where the smokestack feed the sky,
where the trees tremble in terror
& people come to resemble them. . . . "

Here, at the end of the world,
the poets are bleeding.
Writing & bleeding
are thought to be the same;
singing & bleeding
are thought to be the same.

Write us a letter!
Send us a parcel of food!
Comfort us with proverbs or candied fruit,
with talk of one God.
Distract us with theories of art
no one can prove.

Here at the end of the world
our heads are empty,
& the wind walks through them
like ghosts
through a haunted house.

Keep in mind
They're all hollow just like you.
It may seem there's no room left for what you want to give
The reality is there's nothing but empty space.
Knives in their backs, sure.
Holes in their hearts, sure.
Dreams in their heads, of course.
There's still a large vacancy in everyone and
It will stay that way unless you seem them like
You see yourself.
Hollow.

A poem—
is just one more
scrap of paper
that has sailed off the table
in a bottle
with a cry for help.

diaphanous tremors
when my nakedness is not enough
to portray how bare i lay before you
create a signature in the corner of our art
engendered by the voices of our bodies
which sing liquid harmonies for 
the completeness in our honesty

He & I

He and I,
we're sitting side by side on a Sunday night,
watching mindless TV.
He puts his arm around my back,
his hand playing with the ends of my hair carelessly,
as I put my head on his shoulder.

We don't say a word.

The audience in the show laughs
and I feel his chest shake under my hand.
My mind starts wandering
while I think of puzzle pieces and the two faces of a coin
before I have an epiphany:

I can't tell anymore
where he starts and I end.
I love sitting in complete comfort with someone and feeling no strong need to say something. I rarely have that; it happens sometimes when I'm with my best friend.

My Love

She'll take you to Heaven But give you Hell
Woman was made for man's delight,--
  Charm, O woman! Be not afraid!
His shadow by day, his moon by night,
  Woman was made.

Her strength with weakness is overlaid;
  Meek compliances veil her might;
Him she stays, by whom she is stayed.

World-wide champion of truth and right,
  Hope in gloom, and in danger aid,
Tender and faithful, ruddy and white,
  Woman was made.
