Gusto ko ng panibagong balat. Iyong maputi at makinis. Mala porselana, Na halos kuminang tuwing masisinagan ng araw. Kabisado ko ang bilang ng araw, Na ginugugol sa ilalim ng araw kakabanat. Ngunit, Ang panibagong balat, Hindi nito ako kayang protektahan, alam ko. Lilimitahan lamang nito ang mga nalalaman ko. Ngunit, Sa panibagong balat, nais ko magsimula. Kilalanin at kalimutan ng halos magkasabay, Ang imahe ng nakakadiri kong balat. Bilang ang peklat. Sukat ko kung gaano kalalim ito, Noong sugat pa lamang. Kaya ko gusto ng bagong balat para pagtakpan ito. Baka sakaling iwasto ng bago kong balat, Ang mga naimali ko. Makikilala kaya ako ng ibang tao, Sa bagong balat na suot ko? Marahil hindi, sana hindi, panigurado hindi. Nais kong magtago, Sa paraan kung paano ako lulutang ng hubo't hubad. Nang hindi ko na itatakip, Ang aking palad sa aking dibdib, Dahon sa ibaba ng puson. Isisigaw ko ang salitang "PUTA!" ng napakalakas, Halos magsisilabas Ang mga putang mismong makakarinig, At yayakapin ko sila. Dahil bago ang balat ko, ito'y mainit. Kumpara sa nahamugan kong balat kagabi. Malinis, Kumpara sa balat kong may dampi ng mabahong laway. Mabango, Kumpara sa mumurahing aficionado na nahaluan Ng pawis ni Ricardo kagabi. Bagong balat. Ibebenta ko ang luma kong balat, Sa gabing ito. Bilhin mo ang aking balat. May panibago bukas, Pag-asa, hamon, Mantikilya sa loob ng pandesal. Gamit ang luma kong balat, Makakabili pa ba ako ng bago? Magkaiba ang bagong uri sa bagong palit. Ang balat ko, nalaspag na. Tulad ng puti kong damit, Hindi na ito puti. Marumi ang titig ko. Marumihin ang aking naisuot. Ang balat ko ay puno ng mantsa, Ngunit bago ang aking suot ngayon, bagamat, Iisa parin ng uri. Balat na nakalaan para ulitin ang pagrumi at Yurak sa puti kong suot. Bagong balat, kulay puti. Wala na akong maisuot. Hubad na ang aking puri. Hindi ko masuot ang salapi. Magkano pera mo? Tara? Nais mo bang makita ang aking balat?

Mahabang Sigarilyo, Mahabang Gabi ni Maria.

Strange as it seems, November schemes, For Isi bears the moonlight gleam. For as I saw This fluffy awe Ricardo, memes, on me bestow! She melts my heart, This kitten-tart Propels me from the very start! Yet, fill my soul! And make me whole Till I have reached the final goal. You moonshine light, That fills the night, With lunar gleam and kitten blight. And dear sweet cat, I'll tell you that, I'm fond of you, from sole to hat. Of ears and tail, I shall not fail To feel your floof beyond the pale. And they shall love This morning dove That's you, who's sent from up above. Ah! Isi dear, You make me steer Towards your sight, your kitten-gear. This kitten-gear! So sweet and sheer Shibari-knots dispel my fear. Shibari-knots And dazzling Goths Victorian air, I breath a lot! Sing high, my soul, From pole to pole, That you, my cat-girl, make me whole!

On Isibella de Karnstein, without putting on her makeup.
Ricardo KAKA is not just a soccer player. He is the sun shinning on the soccer field. When he smiles it fills everyone up with an enormous sense of joy. When he gets benched, it's like an avalanche after an earthquake just destroyed every building. But when he scores even the opponents' stadium has to clap. When he plays is the conducter of the syphany. Some say "Bend it like Beckam." but I say "Ball up like Kaka."

Ricardo Kaka
5th Ave. was shoulder to shoulder with hungry lunch-seeking business men and women. Ricardo unpacked his horn nervously and a foot cymbal. Spring, early street season, too cold for most musicians but he needed money. His lips kissed the cold metal mouthpiece. Carrying the saw and the pulaski. Cutting brush for a fire line high up, where raptors and ravens fly. No sound but wind if you could subtract the crew working and ***** joking during lunch. A good year it had been sitting in the soil feeling Ricardo's body on the mountainside. Mountains moving as good a feeling. Alone in his town, most neighbors at work, housecleaning done, Ricardo settled down with pen to write and ate lunch. People = chickadees. Clutch size, substrate, territory, gestation period. Mating rituals. Use of alcohol and hallucinogens. Forms of cancer, heart disease. Burial rites, memories. Creation myths, beliefs for which there is no evidence. Range: tundra to tropics.

Ricardo's Lunch
on sunday, i sat in our kitchen with my dad as the pale april sunlight streamed in and we watched as the brasilian government held the vote over whether or not to impeach the president dilma rousseff. my brother’s at college, my mom was at work; it was just me and my dad. a family friend told me once that my dad loves his country more than anybody they'd ever met. i remember, we ate apple slices as we watched the government vote on the fate of the country. i am 17 and my dad still slices my apples, cuts my grilled cheese sandwiches into triangles, calls me querida. my dad gestures at the TV, we both talk with our hands a little too much, and tells me that you can tell which way the politicians are voting based of the color they’re wearing. the worker’s party, partido dos trabalhadores, called the PT is wearing red. they're the ones that vote against impeachment, eu voto não. my father marched for that party in the 70s, 80s. they were born of the opposition to the military dictatorship of his childhood. he glares at the TV screen, now, like he’s angry for the promises they broke. the TV in the kitchen is practically a relic, a boxy fourteen inches, older than me. we have a satellite dish in the backyard so we can get globo, the biggest television network in brasil. neighbor kids accidentally chuck their ***** into it, hitting the dish and scrambling over the fence to collect their toys. on the TV, ricardo barros walks up the microphone. he’s a congressman from my family’s home state of paraná. my dad says, “hey, i went to college with him!” they both majored in civil engineering, went to university in maringá. i remember i laughed. my dad knows so many people that he can find acquaintances on the TV. i asked my dad if they were friends. he laughs a little, too, says it depends on how ricardo voted. ricardo voted yes. my father was 7 years old in 1964 when the military took over brasil’s government in a coup. sometimes i wonder if for him this whole thing feels sort of like de ja vu, history repeating with a new face. i don’t ask.

¡Oh sombra vaga, oh sombra de mi primera novia! Era como el convólvulo -la flor de los crepúsculos-, y era como las teresitas: azul crepuscular. Nuestro amor semejaba paloma de la aldea, grato a todos los ojos y a todos familiar. En aquel pueblo, olían las brisas a azahar. Aún bañan, como a lampos, mi recuerdo: su cabellera rubia en el balcón, su linda hermana Julia, mi melodía incierta... y un lirio que me dio... y una noche de lágrimas... y una noche de estrellas fulgiendo en esas lágrimas en que moría yo... Francisco, hermano de ellas, Juan-de-Dios y Ricardo amaban con mi amor las músicas del río; las noches blancas, ceñidas de luceros; las noches negras, negras, ardidas de cocuyos; el son de las guitarras, y, entre quimeras blondas, el azahar volando... Todos teníamos novia y un lucero en el alba diáfana de las ideas. La Muerte horrible -¡un tajo silencioso!- tronchó la espiga en que granaba mi alegría: ¡murió mi madre!... La cabellera rubia de Teresa me iluminaba el llanto. Después... la vida... el tiempo... el mundo, ¡y al fin, mi amor desfalleció como un convólvulo! No ha mucho, una mañana, trajéronme una carta. ¡Era de Juan-de-Dios! Un poco acerba, ingenua, virilmente resignada: refería querellas del pueblo, de mi casa, de un amigo: «Se casó; ya está viejo y con seis hijos... La vida es triste y dura; sin embargo, se va viviendo... Ha muerto mucha gente: Don David... don Gregorio... Hay un colegio y hay toda una generación nueva. Como cuando te fuiste, hace veinte años, en este pueblo aún huelen las brisas a azahar...» ¡Oh Amor! Tu emblema sea el convólvulo, la flor de los crepúsculos!

*I look deeply at you. I look at you deeply. I touch the comet tails. I witness Arided, Asmidiske And the blessed Sun of Joshua. I peel the galaxy off of stars. I hear the lyric and the moon. I feel the musings of your heart. I light the crescents on your chest. I harbor wolves from the snow. I write like Neftali Ricardo Reyes Basoalto. And I become distant, a sigh, a spirit. I look at you deeply. I look deeply at you.* © 2015 J.S.P.

Startled
I woke this morning feeling good & ready to start my day Washed up, got dressed, then got on my knees to pray Asked God to look after everyone I love, to keep em safe And to make today a great beautiful day As I proceed with my daily activities, I start getting this bad feeling Like something was about to occur, either a tragedy or another senseless killing But as soon as I’m enjoying myself as always, something tells me to check my phone I open Instagram only to see the saddest news, another King knocked from the throne Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy has been pronounced dead, gunned down in his car As soon as I’m healed from depression, here comes another unexpected scar A guidance to many, hated by many, but his message recognized by a large few And the same ones who hated were now the ones showing love, what’s new? Trapped in this cold world, you were the light that overshadowed the darkness This world needed a new direction of guidance & you were the one to spark it Lost your life in a senseless way but your music & message will live eternally Only thing is that your bright side will now shine over the madness Still an empty place in the hearts of the family that your music was the answer to their sadness Long live a King on a mission to save himself as well as those who’ve followed his lead Rest in Paradise & thank you for giving those such as myself the faith to believe ☆ Poetic Venxm ☆

Long Live X: Dedicated to XXXTentacion
Miss you when the sun shows up Miss you when it's time to sup Miss you when I take a walk Miss you when I want to talk Miss you all around the clock Miss you when it's time to rock! Miss your body in my bed Miss you ******** with my head Why is it, I keep asking . . . Why? It's so dam hard to say good bye . . . Even just for 10 short days Of missing movies, meals and plays . . . Then The answer rings out clear It's Christmas time; a time for cheer! A time to sing; to share a beer, A time to draw your loved one near. And therein lies my problem dear The answer ringing loud and clear You're far away; at least a day I wish you'd come; I wish you'd stay But wishing isn't my forte Cuz dreams are dreams That cut the air With tears and fears That see their share Of wanting things That are not there
