"lorenzo" poems
Enrique, Emilio, Lorenzo, the three of them frozen: Enrique by the world of beds; Emilio by the world of eyes and wounded hands; Lorenzo by the world of roofless universities. Lorenzo, Emilio, Enrique, the three of them burned: Lorenzo by the world of leaves and billiard ***** Emilio by the world of blood and white pins; Enrique by the world of the dead and abandoned newspapers. Lorenzo, Emilio, Enrique, the three of them buried: Lorenzo in one of Flora's ******* Emilio in the dead gin forgotten in the glass; Enrique in the ant, the sea, and the empty eyes of birds. Lorenzo, Emilio, Enrique, the three in my hands were three Chinese mountains, three shadows of a horse, three landscapes of snow and a cabin of white lilies by the pigeon coops where the moon lies flat under the rooster. One and one and one, the three of them mummified, with the flies of winter, with the inkwells the dog ****** and the thistle despises, with the breeze that freezes theh eart of all the mothers, by the white ruins of Jupiter where drunks snack on death. Three and two and one, I saw them disappear, crying and singing into a hen's egg, into the night that showed its skeleton of tobacco, into my sorrow full of faces and piercing bone splinters of moon, into my happiness of whips and notched wheels, into my breast troubled by pigeons, into my deserted death with one mistaken wanderer. I had killed the fifth moon and the fans and the applause drank water from the fountains. Hidden away, the warm milk of newborn girls, shook the roses with a long white sorrow. Enrique, Emilio, Lorenzo, Diana is hard, but somtimes she has ******* of clouds. The white stone can beat in the blood of a deer and the deer can dream through the eyes of a horse. When the pure forms sank under the cri cri of daisies I understood they had murdered me. They searched the cafés and the graveyards and churches, they opened the wine casks and wardrobes, they destroyed three skeletons to pull out their gold teeth. Still they couldn't fine me. They couldn't? No. They couldn't. But they learned the sixth moon fled against the torrent, and the sea remembered, suddenly, the names of all her drowned.

*she dragged me out of the house knowing i was feeling down not allowing me to wallow in my self pity, she dressed me,         painted my face                fashioned my hair, that’s my girl friend at Juliana’s, small family owned Italian restaurant, a gem of a find, she said, Lorenzo, greeted her with familiarity (she leaves a memorable impression) she introduced me as her bestie with a twinkle in her eye young (as all under 30 people are to me) handsome, dark thick curly haired, with dancing eyes, a serving towel over his left arm nodded with a genuine smile i smiled back despite my mood wine was swirled, smelled, sampled and selected a captivating performance, executed expertly she watched me watching him describe the specials   with a melodic Italian accent transforming my mood garlic knots wafting with his stride, placed on the table with a small bowl of marinara sauce still hovering in his long lean fingers it slipped, splattering red stain on the pristine white cloth without skipping a beat his eyes poured into mine words emerged “forgive me, your beauty made me nervous”*

the waiter
Four blocks down, A man who never gives the same name Stands every day selling condoms With Tiger’s face telling us to “Protect Our Wood”, And next to him is the vendor where I just bought my new favorite scarf. His name is Lorenzo. He’s 6 foot 4, Old school Italian, and after two months I’ve yet to see him wear the same shoes twice. Natalie played softball in high school. She now owns a hot dog stand just outside That I’ve seen fifty people wait in line for. After a heartfelt conversation we had On a certain rainy Thursday morning, Natalie now throws me a free Polish sausage with peppers Once in a while when I open my second story window. She hasn’t missed once. My one neighbor is a Latina grandmother named Sofia. She brought her kids here illegally, And they’ve since used their success To cut all ties to dear old Mexico And to her. I eat with her once a week, And we share cooking recipes And small tales about life BNY (Before New York). There’s a homeless man downtown Whose sign says “A quarter a day Keeps my teeth off your leg”, And ever since he’s proven it to me I’ve dropped fifty cents a day, Hoping for extra protection. When my friends from college come to visit, They were all curious about Lorenzo’s shoes And Natalie’s pitching arm And when Sofia’s daughter would show up (Tyler had a thing for hispanic girls). I never tried to explain, because I never felt the need to know the answer myself. All I cared about were Natalie’s smile, Sofia’s homemade tortilla chips, And how a guy like Lorenzo ended up in New York City selling scarves.

*we three send you a song over continents, over oceans through centuries* hope this finds you well better than we found our times with plague, blind beliefs and uncertainty about us and fragile mortality and living on the edge when life was not comfortable which was often for us *we three send you a song over continents, over oceans through centuries* hope life’s better for you O radiant humanity of the future not that it was bad for us but it’s logical to assume things always get better and so it’s utopia you must be in as we send you this message and your world must be ridden of anxiety and worry it must be times of peace and harmony where the peoples of the world live together like children of one family *thus we three send you a song over continents, over oceans through centuries* and so in your ease and enlightened times such as they must be remember us by this painting by Lorenzo Costa and also hum along to our tune of goodwill and cheer that you might imagine and if you master the art of time-travel come visit us, and we’ll give you a song one that you can hear, one you can join in and perhaps you’ll take us back along with you to such happier, happier times such joyous, joyous bright times as yours must be there in your distant century

we three send you a song
Let me go in the Dark I want to be in there In the space of corpulent, infectious glands Swallowing innocence with labyrinthine hands Let me be one with the Night My home is over there In a place of ubiquitous fears And a plethora of basking tears Let me soak in the abyss The void is so near A comely figure, an evocative sadist and protégé Dripping candle wax on me in San Lorenzo, Paraguay Let me walk among ghosts In the Portal Del So hotel Tossing back Xanax; Vicodin with a liquor chaser Gin and vermouth, ***** anything to forget her. Let me wait in living purgatory With other pods of skin When the wind shakes the barley, back home Where a wife and son never left me alone. Let me go in the dark Past the tortured guilt and sorrow Where a family is made of flesh and not ash Where a house remains and the fires don’t last Let me cry and weep in silence In a room with rotting drapes A static-channel TV, a two blade ceiling fan People engulfed in one another, A demon  for a man Let me shower in cold, thickening blood Standing atop broken medicine cabinet glass So many packs a day of cheap cigarettes and loose women None ease the pain like the morphine in the kitchen. Let me go into the chasm The vein snake is thirsty. I take a little more each time it feeds But maybe not waking up is what the snake needs Let me sleep in the dark While infomercials for prayer play Juxtaposed to a zealous vagabond and father The last serpentine dosage for a broken martyr   Let me go in the dark Let me see them again I’ll wait and watch the room shrink And hope my eyes never dilatorily blink.

I am but a rose of beginning green, imprisoned to darkness all day, within a monumental fiend, who covers up the radiance that I want to give away Occasionally a small opening would be sewn into the darkness' fiery grasp and your pure radiance could be shown concealed in a kindhearted mask Share your light with me and for you I will light the way wrapped in an unfamiliar livery prepared for our intimacy till the end of our days We will cross waters on a homebound stretch and become fuel for our endurance, so beautifully etched I'll take my chances, following the sun the garden we grow means that together, we are one Share your light with me, and forever I will stay. my petals can become your livery we need each other, I daresay.

Bianca Lorenzo Your pretty wings stretch farther than the arms I long to hold to fly into the breathe that speaks of sultry whispers in my ears is what I dream of. Your eyes can't reach my beauty my soft exterior won't allow it I seek the remedy that allows my heart to beat when i can't see you so I close my eyes to feel the strokes that part my indecisions Love took time by storm when it left us alone in quiet rooms you leave my tongue heavy with the words that I can't roll out and my heart beats in intervals of two once for me and once for you... James Desire Reach for the sky so that these pretty wings may carry you too because we both dream of a shared solitude that would ignite our souls and express our passion so why not make our dreams a reality... Steel chains cage my heart with a lock in the middle that requires  your touch free me and reveal everything that the smile contains hidden inhibitions that call out your name Our bodies rage in responce to each others animalistic phase a struggle to tame our hearts begin whenever we reach this stage so i'll give you all my love and feed the beast that resides within us both so we can both find ecestacy in each other....

Pretty Wings [Collaboration w/ Bianca Lorenzo]
Lorenzo is what I call my lupus Because …. Why not?! From now on, it’ll be just the two of us So best commit and tie that knot Lorenzo was the guy I never noticed Sometimes trying to give out a sign And when quiet, never really missed Resigned to be benign But every signal missed Simply lingered and formed a stack Their evolution was dismissed So came the revolt…the unprovoked attack Lorenzo was sad, Lorenzo was mad….Lorenzo wanted to be seen Depression, anxiety, inflammation - my body on fire Lorenzo hit and Lorenzo kicked…. I found out he could be mean Fatigue and ….what was I saying?..panic levels going higher It took nearly a year but finally I met him No longer in shadows haunting my body Here in the open, Lorenzo didn’t look so grim Now introduced, it took time but I asked Lorenzo to be my buddy I asked him to help me know When what I was doing triggered him He agreed to be patient and take it slow He’d stick around and wouldn’t act out on a whim We sat down in the comfort of our home I asked him questions he couldn’t answer Where did he come from? How long had he been around? Why hadn’t he wanted to be found? Did I do something wrong? Was I going to be sufficiently strong? Would I ever go back to being fine? But as he shrugged the questions away Lorenzo said to me : “at the end of the day I don’t make you better or worse… I am with you, for better and worse!”

Dad, How come you gave me all your old Bob Marley and the Wailers records, you listened to when you were sixteen and fixing cars, humming "emancipate yourselves from mental slavery?" You grew pillars of brussel sprouts, you got a rain barrel, you used grease to run a 1971 Mercendes Benz, Benzo-Lorenzo, you kept the wood-burning house so cold Mom threatened to take us to the Holiday Inn and make you pay for it.  No matter how much I wanted to go to a hotel (play pretend in my head, little girl-glamor pretend) I would plead with Mom.  We are fine, we are fine. I'll put a sweater on.  See, I was a little sustainable champion. Stoke the fire, it smells so good. I appreciate warm so much. Inside I feel proud, like, my dad prepared me to live in a punk house. God, I wish I could be you watching me when I was a little girl. At Walbridge Park, those little pastel coiled spring animals. Mulch or little pieces of rubber? I like those little squishy pieces of rubber. I want a boat, a fishing boat. I taught little kids how to fish this summer. I kept a straight face, but I was beaming on the inside. Careful, considerate, thank you notes, visiting old ladies, kindness, loss of God, reading the Bible, reading everything, Swedish, cooking chili and pozole.  Where did you learn to cook pozole?  I want to know how but I am afraid to ask.  I don't want a speech, I just want clear cut directions, with love.  Just clear cut directions, with love.

San Lorenzo, io lo so perché tanto di stelle per l'aria tranquilla arde e cade, perché sì gran pianto nel concavo cielo favilla. Ritornava una rondine al tetto: l'uccisero: cadde tra spini: ella aveva nel becco un insetto: la cena dei suoi rondinini. Ora è là, come in croce, che tende quel verme a quel cielo lontano; e il suo nido è nell'ombra, che attende che pigola sempre più piano. Anche un uomo tornava al suo nido: l'uccisero: disse: Perdono; e restò negli aperti occhi un grido: portava due bambole in dono... Ora là, nella casa romita, lo aspettano, aspettano in vano: egli immobile, attonito, addita le bambole al cielo lontano. E tu, Cielo, dall'alto dei mondi sereni, infinito, immortale, oh! d'un pianto di stelle lo inondi quest'atomo opaco del Male!

There are times that I wish I was dead there are times when I ask god why did he make me. Was it just to make me cry every night. Make my own mother hate and blame me. Well then maybe I should let her **** me maybe I should run way maybe I disappear for goodness sake then someone said to me i know you hurt but you don’t how strong you really are so listen just listen -Mia I looked into my father’s eyes and saw the hatred...when he said I was no longer his son I pulled knife to my neck and said “devil have me” but god said wait don’t you let him take you away from me don’t you let him have my child just wait and listen -Nick I heard my mother cries saying she was sorry that she couldn’t afford the life we deserve. She was sorry that my father wasn’t around. She was sorry that my sister, her daughter might be stuck in a wheel chair for life. So I got down on my knees begged god to save me please and he said your greatness is coming my child just wait and listen -Lorenzo I heard the whispers that was a b*****d child, that my mother slept with married man. I heard the rumors that i wasn’t gonna go anywhere that I was just gonna end up like her a desperate soul. And that’s when I lost control. My mother died as I laid in her arms 16 & pregnant I was mad at the world but god was telling me to listen. Just wait and listen not to them but to me your greatness is coming your greatness is now -Camille He died in my arms blood everywhere, my mother left, my father was in Jail i was left by myself had this gun in my hand put it to head ready to pull the trigger but god said wait you have purpose open your ears and listen.

Bas le masque Dulcinea del Toboso ! Bas le masque Aldonza Lorenzo ! Bas le masque Idolâtres ! Aphrodites de tout acabit Dames de mes pensées Invisibles Dulcinées Dont j 'essuie les refus Pour chacune de mes avances ! Mes feuilles, mes flammes, mes âmes ! Vénérées comme je n 'ai jamais été aimé ! Priées comme je n 'ai jamais été désiré ! Chantées comme je n 'ai jamais été embrassé ! Caressées comme jamais on ne m'a honoré ! Vos panoplies diverses et variées de Muse de chevalier errant Ont pu jadis faire illusion auprès des fous errants De triste figure et autres Rocinantes Mais don Quijote de la Mancha Est transi dans la place ! Fuyez Aphrodites vulgaires Venez à moi Aphrodites célestes Déployez en moi animus et anima L 'énergie d'Eros. Défiez-moi par vos énigmes Questionnez-moi, jouons A qui sera le moins sage A qui saura lire entre les lignes Des lèvres philosophes de l 'autre Les chemins de traverse qui mènent au bonheur Je suis Philon ! Soyez donc ma Sophie ! Je suis Salomon ! Soyez donc ma reine de Saba ! Vous êtes Désirée ? Et muse si affinités ? Adoubez-moi Napoléon, prince consort !

El hormiguero hace erupción. La herida abierta bortotea, espumea, se expande, se contrae. El sol a estas horas no deja nunca de bombear sangre, con las sienes hinchadas, la cara roja. Un niño -ignorante de que en un recodo de la pubertad lo esperan unas fiebres y un problema de conciencia- coloca con cuidado una piedrecita en la boca despellejada del hormiguero. El sol hunde sus picas en las jorobas del llano, humilla promontorios de basura. Resplandor desenvainado, los reflejos de una lata vacía -erguida sobre una pirámide de piltrafas- acuchillan todos los puntos del espacio. Los niños buscadores de tesoros y los perros sin dueño escarban el amarillo esplendor del pudridero. A trescientos metros la iglesia de San Lorenzo llama a misa de doce. Adentro, en el altar de la derecha, hay un santo pintado de azul y rosa. De su ojo izquierdo brota un enjambre de insectos de alas grises, que vuelan en línea recta hacia la cúpula y caen, hechos polvo, silencioso derrumbe de armaduras tocadas por la mano del sol. Silban las sirenas de las torres de las fábricas. Falos decapitados. Un pájaro vestido de ***** vuela en círculos y se posa en el único árbol vivo del llano. Después… No hay después. Avanzo, perforo grandes rocas de años, grandes masas de luz compacta, desciendo galerías de minas de arena, atravieso corredores que se cierran como labios de granito. Y vuelvo al llano, donde siempre es mediodía, donde un sol idéntico cae fijamente sobre un paisaje detenido. Y no acaban de caer las doce campanadas, ni de zumbar las moscas, ni de estallar en astillas este minuto que no pasa, que sólo arde y no pasa.

Paging Mr. de Medici...
I messed up something, that I don't think I will ever find again. I made mistakes that could never be forgiven, but that will never be repeated. This is for the boy who has my heart in a headlock, for the boy I will do anything for. I needed to find some way to make it up to you. But gifts and persuasive phrases weren't going to do us justice. I needed to find a better way, a way that the truth could be heard past mountains and in a way that the fish in the unexplored parts of the ocean, would know how much you mean to me. Everything I do, I thought was for the best, but the lengths of how wrong I was, cannot be measured with a meter stick. Your happiness should always come before mine, but it radiates into my soul when I see you smiling, and the sun shines on both of us. I am not me without you, you stimulate my brain cells and the nerves throughout my chest. Your arms are where I seek shelter, your lips where my words reside. I know I'm in the wrong when I need to be in the right, but I will not give up my fight for you, I would give up my life for you. I will look you in your brown eyes and I will tell you I love you without blinking. Because my eyes can't tell lies, and my eyes can keep promises. I will look you in those beautiful brown eyes, and tell you that our lives will stay our lives, Not an invasion of someone else's eyes. Our problems are not so much problems as they are desperation to be okay again, To work out our troubles and save us from the pain of separation. Our hearts have grown accustomed to having each other around, and change will crush my spirits into the ground. I can have no one, as long as I have you to take up the empty space in my life, that triggered me to want a future that didn't involve darkness, and you brought the light. My actions were worthy of the fights that I caused, and the pain that I brought, but in no way was it worth it. My apology will spread across days, months, years, and I will prove to you that I can be better. I will prove to you that I will sacrifice anything to create happiness within your heart. To prove to you that I love you, to prove to you that I am sorry. That I promise I will never do it again. I will look into your eyes without blinking, I will make your soul believe me, with my words, and my upcoming actions to make it better, and those actions won't stop until I'm dead. I will say it without stuttering, I will say it with more confidence that I've ever had in my life. Because I need you to know, that I will do anything for you, I will do anything you need. I will love you. I love you. And I'm sorry. I know that this won't trigger forgiveness by itself, But I know that my efforts will be worth something in the end, no matter how long it takes. Lorenzo Ruiz, I will do anything for you, I will do anything to prove that from now to the end of time you can trust me, and that I couldn't be more sorry.

My apology
I messed up something, that I don't think I will ever find again. I made mistakes that could never be forgiven, but that will never be repeated. This is for the boy who has my heart in a headlock, for the boy I will do anything for. I needed to find some way to make it up to you. But gifts and persuasive phrases weren't going to do us justice. I needed to find a better way, a way that the truth could be heard past mountains and in a way that the fish in the unexplored parts of the ocean, would know how much you mean to me. Everything I do, I thought was for the best, but the lengths of how wrong I was, cannot be measured with a meter stick. Your happiness should always come before mine, but it radiates into my soul when I see you smiling, and the sun shines on both of us. I am not me without you, you stimulate my brain cells and the nerves throughout my chest. Your arms are where I seek shelter, your lips where my words reside. I know I'm in the wrong when I need to be in the right, but I will not give up my fight for you, I would give up my life for you. I will look you in your brown eyes and I will tell you I love you without blinking. Because my eyes can't tell lies, and my eyes can keep promises. I will look you in those beautiful brown eyes, and tell you that our lives will stay our lives, Not an invasion of someone else's eyes. Our problems are not so much problems as they are desperation to be okay again, To work out our troubles and save us from the pain of separation. Our hearts have grown accustomed to having each other around, and change will crush my spirits into the ground. I can have no one, as long as I have you to take up the empty space in my life, that triggered me to want a future that didn't involve darkness, and you brought the light. My actions were worthy of the fights that I caused, and the pain that I brought, but in no way was it worth it. My apology will spread across days, months, years, and I will prove to you that I can be better. I will prove to you that I will sacrifice anything to create happiness within your heart. To prove to you that I love you, to prove to you that I am sorry. That I promise I will never do it again. I will look into your eyes without blinking, I will make your soul believe me, with my words, and my upcoming actions to make it better, and those actions won't stop until I'm dead. I will say it without stuttering, I will say it with more confidence that I've ever had in my life. Because I need you to know, that I will do anything for you, I will do anything you need. I will love you. I love you. And I'm sorry. I know that this won't trigger forgiveness by itself, But I know that my efforts will be worth something in the end, no matter how long it takes. Lorenzo Ruiz, I will do anything for you, I will do anything to prove that from now to the end of time you can trust me, and that I couldn't be more sorry.

To all those I chanced upon in past realms I recall every one of you, needless of effort as hoard your encounter within me completing the oeuvre painting my essence, portraying my existence. To you my kindergarten friend I wonder what you have become. Golden curls enveloping your round freckled face I took you by your hand, dragged you everywhere I went. Do you still trade leaves for pine nuts? To you my circus man, counting stories of a second World War comradery as we walked the morning hours with your two white fluffy poodles through Roman squares helping painters put up their stands. Do you still wear your leather cowboy boots? You they say one never forgets. We grew together on summer holidays in Greece until you grew a passion for hunting dogs and with the clumsy excuse of taking them for a walk took me to the woods on a moonless night for my first kiss. To you who stuck with me through thick and thin showering me with affection always a master in making me laugh, epicurean philosophies to live a happy life. Eloping fantasies neglected until we parted. Did you ever make it to Australia? And what about you my blues musicians, guitars in our hands carelessly seated on the ***** floors of San Lorenzo, we used to dance exchanging our experiences for beers and shots of *** Do you still play notes of Vaughan? To you my old-time street stranger homelessly keeping an eye on me along my nocturnal returns, when singing birds announce colours and odours of the dawn as we shared warm croissants at four. Are you still alive? To all those I chanced upon in past realms I recall, You are oh so many blessed gifts of life to me, I thank you for completing the oeuvre painting my essence portraying my existence.

My dearest Leopold: The blind birds propaganda course is enlightening. Yeah, Ive taken it, In fact, Ive taken it once a week since June 7th, 2015. The boat started sinking on that day as well... Probably just a coincidence. I apologies if I come off as acclumsid but that devil has got my mind in a twist. I think being an afterling of this great man is an honor, unfortunately I'm not sure that he enjoys my company.... He already has his own little Heinrich Himmler. The button nose girl popped up again. This time outside of a dream. Quite a queer circumstance... She never stops bluttering and she is a bit of a daggle-tail and feather-head, but I feel what I feel.  Anyways I can hardly believe it has been three fortnights since last we had correspondence, But the elves are riding scamper like a horse and its been quite a hassle to get them off. Always with flerd, -Lorenzo

Letter to Leopold
Masses flooding running, gushing in sclerotic streets from Heliopolis to downtown Cairo and from the great pyramid to the stone lions of Pre-colonial royalty over the river Nile lost in the way for country heart me, my soul, and couple of my friends whom I lead to end arteries of the city hemorrhagic were shot by snipers of  Victorian national police    and some years later, I want to write a poem let´s say cosmic or universal about that trio human dream, death and deception "Emilio, Lorenzo, Enrique Fueron los tres en mis manos" a cancer larynx revolution, of bad alcohol and tobacco? two holy hands of fate, and one of eternal ************    and a bored Lenin setting behind a screen? (the algorithm will do the masses when the masses are ready to run ) but time as God is a lazy surgeon forgot a scalpel in my throat and I am being cured of every thing even the nasty hollow of my tired voice.
