Latina en la tina
Carrot arepas on the table, Busy hands in the kitchen, Little feet run amok across the house, And my mouth is full. They are delicious, She is the ideal wife, They are curious, And are a part of me. Venezuela gave me their food, Also her, Between us both we received them, And God is the gift giver!

The once timid Shores of my resistance. Fearing an inundation of the sorts of Flotsam and Jetsam that can cure a man of loneliness, Were trampled like soccer fans in Venezuela, when you appeared on my shore. Certain that the fraughting souls within, were to cover me in stinking pitch. I retreated to the hills and played the wait and see. Waiting and watching and hoping to pray. And when you legged your way onto my beach, I cried like a gangster on new years eve

I am Miranda
Homecoming body: A grey cardigan strips down, bonding skin to night’s air, penetrating Chevrolet safe havens drowned in lover’s spit. My Mind thanks Google, enabling electronic bibles to leave disciples stifled with religious quotas, an excuse to quote us — “Trouble at the Border, read the former court room reporter working for the, sensationalized, through remnants of blood stains in our eyes.” Midway through Chapter 1 — reeks not only of of *** in the backseat — but of Venezuela’s shorelines. Of her high school hallways. Of the intrigue of the unexplored Mexican neighbor, her freedom amidst constraint, where Visas lease us advertising campaigns for maquiladora made lampshades. Despite their protest, common sense lent comparisons, a consequence of stories told in reverse. They hover over Venezuela’s familiar curves, her long black hair straddling my shoulders.

We Saw The Eternal War and Laughed as the Seas Engulfed Us All
the year opened on two kinds of olympics: Sochi and selfie. we spent months looking for one missing plane 276 missing girls, and 43 missing students. from Ukraine to Mexico, Palestine to Venezuela, to Ferguson, the front of the battle lines were crammed full. their stories captivated us, their movements motivated us. we snapchatted, we vined and instagrammed, we remembered their names. Malala Yousafzai to Mike Brown. Eric Garner to Ebola. we made some friends and some enemies. and I think, when I look back, years from now, at the year 2014, the first thing to come to mind will be, "I was there."

¿Por qué, por qué tiene que ser así? Esto no es correcto, no para mí. No quiero que me digan que pruebe el “Café de Costa Rica”, los “Bombones de Colombia”, las “Arepas de Venezuela”, las “Carnes de Argentina", las “Pastas italianas”, los “Tacos mexicanos”, la “Tortilla española”, la “Comida china” o la “Pizza con el ingrediente especial de Italia”. No quiero que me digan “Esto está hecho en China” ni “¡Wao! Esto no está hecho en China, está hecho en Taiwan”. No quiero que me digan “Mira este documental de África”, “Que hermosa se ve esa foto de la Torre Eiffel” o “Que alto debe estar ese edificio de New York”. No quiero que me cuenten cómo les fue en su viaje a Europa, su jornada en California o sus problemas mientras estuvieron en Canada. No quiero que me relaten las historias aprendidas durante su tiempo en Egipto o los bailes ensayados mientras estaban en Brasil. No quiero que hablen de su críticas respecto a la cutura de India, de Guyana o de Cuba. No quiero que me describan lo exquisita que estuvo la comida en Perú, en Australia o en República Dominicana. No quiero que me muestren la música de Jamaica o la de Rusia. No quiero que me digan  o me enseñen nada, nada más. Quiero yo poder probar los alimentos en su nacionalidad. Quiero sentir el aroma del café en las mañanas durante unas vacaciones en Costa Rica y probar ese toque especial que hace que la pizza en Italia sea diferente a la que acostumbramos a ordenar. Quiero ver cómo hacen los artefactos, estar en China y luego en Taiwan, tener esa experiencia de crear algo. Quiero visitar África y tomar mi propio documental, treparme en ese gigante edificio y apreciar la hermosa vista. Quiero ser yo la que cuente mi experiencia en las calles de Europa, California o Canada. Quiero aprender historias sobre Egipto y sus magníficas esculturas, incluso quiero aprender a darzar como lo hacen en Brasil y cada movimiento perfeccionar. Quiero dar las críticas sobre mis pensamientos hacia dichas culturas, pero con respeto. Quiero describir los suculentos platos y hacer que las personas se los imaginen, de tal manera que hasta en sus paladares puedan sentirlos. Quiero  escuchar la música de Jamaica y la de Rusia y si es en vivo, aún mejor, así podré meditarla e interpretarla. Puede sonar un poco alocado y para muchos sin sentido, pero para mí es más que un simple pensamiento o cualquier capricho, son sueños y metas que a diario me propongo. Para ello hay que trabajar duro, pero desde mi niñez me enseñaron que “el que quiere puede, solo hay que perseverar para triunfar”. Sé que algún día lo voy a alcanzar y todos se sorprenderán, cuando con orgullo les relate sobre lo que un día fue “un simple  deseo internacional ”.

In the Presidential Palace, the steaks are served up seared. There’s an excellent wine cellar for meals expertly prepared. The Palace is cool in summer; in winter it's toasty warm, And Maduro and his spouse are always safe and free from harm. In the streets of Venezuela there is anger and despair. Inflation is the problem but why should Maduro care. The store shelves are nearly empty; most people live in fear There is ****** done in daylight and the sense that chaos nears. This was once a beautiful, Prosperous land, the envy of the South. Then a populist Socialist came to drive investors out. Now a nation, resource rich, has been importing oil, a nation whose own oil reserves are the greatest in the world. His critics?- dead or imprisoned; the media is controlled There’s no term limits on his rule. Voters do as they are told. Demonstrators, even peaceful, can be shot down in the street While Maduro sips his wine and decides what next he’ll have to eat.

The Blessings (?) of Venezuelan Socialism
an incomplete conundrum a fixed and failed philosophy a neverending neurotic nightmare god can’t help you now so do you go back to what you know best? the enigma of unfinished cocktails at empty tables you look to see what else there is try to be hopeful, though you know the truth answer questions with a smile don’t forget to brush your teeth and never let them know Do you like music? yeah. That’s fantastic, so do I. yeah. you’ve never been to venezuela you heard it’s nice. thank god for our freedom, am I right? I wouldnt go no place else incomprehensible you walk sometimes just to be alone and think why not more infatuation with the permutation of the inundation of the conflagration how do you suppose it all works? I mean, everything. the plants told me the stars are alive but how does it work? and what do you do? and why? you go back things come up, and you forget about the magic the point is to remember so write it down read it often and never forget

Enamored - 100811-0159a
In preserving Hugo Chavez, every method will be tried. If stuffing Hugo doesn’t work, They’ll try Formaldehyde. Madam Tussaud’s was consulted But their wax was doomed to melt. It is steamy in Caracas And Hugo’s not exactly svelte. A corpse in a glass coffin Like Snow White on display The late lamented Hugo Was a saint some peasants say. What is it with these communists Who all faiths do decry? They long to be like Lenin; To be worshiped, deified. In the end they'll use McDonald's secret sauce to tan his hide. Their burgers last forever don't get me started on their fries. If you go to Venezuela Be sure and say hello for me To the carcass of Caracas preserved for posterity.

The Carcass of Caracas
Starving his people so that they eat off dumpsters is not enough; Causing more than 3,000,000 of the best and brightest to emigrate is not enough; An annual inflation rate of 60,324% today (source: Forbes) is not enough; Rejecting at gun point foreign food and medicine to aid the sick and starving at the borders is not enough; Trampling on the Constitution and establishing a dictatorship is not enough; Billions of dollars stolen from the Venezuelan people by cronies is not enough; Destroying hope, progress, and a leading world economy is not enough; Today government thugs are literally running over protesters in armored vehicles. A small group of rabid-left apologists in the U.S. telling us to ignore the man behind the curtain in an insane attempt to defend the indefensible must face reality. Maduro must go. His Marxist dystopia must be dismantled. The Venezuelan people must regain the right of self determination through free and fair elections--not the sham elections all Communist nations use to show close to 100% approval of the ruling tyrant. Enough is enough!

Venezuela: Enough is Enough!
Watching milk pour into little ziploc bags with bananas and Cheerios and fights over which fruit better invokes the feeling of sunrise, of home and morning eye crust and blown curtains in summer breeze. Strawberries don't stain dresses as much as blackberries from a friend's farm in upstate New York or Eastern Washington or some ranch in coastal Venezuela with coffee and sugar smells stuck on sticky skin and licking juice from sweet fingertips right before it starts to rain. When February sun peeks through cumulus clouds after a five-day downpour, you turn your face to mine and proclaim that the world may be beautiful and youthful, after all.

Morning Meal
Syndicate! Venezuela. A land of ghosts. Where cell phones die. Undetectable. As families cry. For their lost loves. Hostages taken. Vanish into night. For minimal ransom. Ransoms paid by families of wealth. Abductees murdered. Rarely returned. Hostage takers. Rarely caught. In this land of class distinction. Tension builds. Some. The lucky ones get taken from the avenues. Taken to the ATM. Where their bank accounts are drained. Given drugs then dumped again. Caracas homicide rates high. Ransoms paid and men still die! In this dark land where crimes flies. Never solved in this land so corrupt. By ladylivvi1 © 2013 ladylivvi1 (All rights reserved)

Syndicate!
Every true crime documentary resides in me. Binge used to be tied to drinking. The language, I think, is evolving, and I walk the black part of town at night on a double dare from a lady poet whose lexical purview lies somewhere between her **** and the moon. I'm a beacon of fairness, fair trade coffee stains my teeth, my lenin pants imported from Bali are ethically made, and I speak in a respectable and thoughtful half whisper like the women of the QVC. I return to the loft free of gunshot wounds and love my lady poet thin and love my lady poet tall and she says confusion is the only sustainable state of being and I say I can agree with that and she says she's been thinking about transitioning and I say into more responsibility at work? and she says haha no. Into a man. And three weeks later I watch her read a poem entitled "Traffic My **** Transgender *** to Heaven," she goes home with one, two, three Sylvia Plath lookalikes, and I get swabbed at the doctors and I get prescribed a moderate dose of Effexor and I speak in high school Spanish to my office crush — she's from Venezuela, I think. Power. Control. Stockings, I tell her, I have a thing for stockings and pink cotton socks. One more drink and I'll hit my groove. Chill. Power. Control. Put on that soul song I like. Didn't I do it, baby?

A Hipster Cautionary Tale
Dark sea wine, send me to Brazil Caracas, Venezuela, the Coasts of Gold, strung out on oblivion, drowning in the sun, each exhale an eon, collapsing upon itself Hail Mary, sweet ****** mother, salty ginger, stellar space,   answer a beggar's prayer, somewhere let horses run wild, and may a lion lie with a lamb's tail Soaked in jazzy flow, the white Apogaean tides crash like a silver blade against bronze, romance, the death of heroes, Achille's spear, penetrating this moment, ripping it bare, slicing young flesh, open wounds bleeding blessed red life to the world, an amber glaze Thrones pin peace to the wall, a trophy pelt for all to see with cool blazing eyes, yet all look away while I two step waltz like a jigging liquid light wave, lithe feet raining down moves like a dog in the woods, chasing deer through smokey paths hidden from human stained eyes by thick brush Stiff whiskey midnight, gibbous moon hangs mellow yellow like half a wheel of cheese, canonized in secret watching, the pretty girl problems thrown around like trash blown in the park lovely day, where does this path lead? the open road forever howls life, death, birth, infinity

Dark Sea Wine
The Italian coast is a dangerous place for an American Its full of sharks, so I’ve heard. Englishmen consider the wogs chums Americans more as the singular With a hat from Chile, pants assembled in Mexico, and bananas grown in Venezuela, The whole seems to be  lesser than its parts.

Tenderness Amongst Blue Waters
Calavera, burlón y algo alocado Siempre Ricaurte fue, pero valiente; Y un día, con Bolívar que iba al frente, Se marchó a Venezuela uniformado. De «San Mateo» brilla el sol. Cercado Se ve el parque. Bolívar, impaciente, Al cerro se lanzó, como demente, Y gritó entonces: «¡Todo está acabado!» Y respondió Ricaurte: «Dondequiera Fama dejando voy de calavera.... Pues verán lo que haré sin gran trabajo». Y fuego al parque le prendió. Subía, Y en las nubes, riéndose, veía Su castillo de pólvora aquí abajo.

She's a rebel at heart.   Veins that show pain disappear from the warmth of this art. Earthquakes reoccurring in so many places protesters arrested for their true traits. Fighting for rights feels great like candy from Venezuela in contrast to Amityville **** wicked calamity the amplifier is cops have an intent to ****  You hypocrite must you downplay the situation still? Officers like animals hungry for a meal I made this simple simplistic because we all have walls that get ruined by what we all want to keep away and that's what turns the soul ill. Am I a fool for believing I can change the world and find a way out?   This is me with no doubt to help a stranger through the rain cloud until the sun shines and the days out. Confusion dawned to me dawn to a few be careful.

I met him in the night.     A Gayborhood local      told me he was from Venezuela, but didn’t have to,            his accent, so beautiful with its deep grit and softness,                                twang and lisp.                                I already knew,           he didn’t have to tell me.              He bought me drinks, and watched                              me             and only me,                 as I bit from the fruit of his garden.                             He invited me to an afterparty,   I didn’t know    him, but we went     through alleys,          dampened by the heat of bodies       melding to the brick walls, glistening                             in the streetlights and nightlife. Unknown lips                           pressed and held, to stay,            not to                          part. It was         beautiful.                         Within the alley was         our destination: underground. It was                 a luscious venue, crowded, exuberant and whimsy.     Velvet covered the walls, and he brought me more drinks.                                       I finished them all.                                                                                     I remember locking lips with a stranger, and how          it hurt.                                        He was warm and sweaty, and          smelled of Burberry and whiskey,                                     his stubble left                my face burning.                             He grabbed my hand, and led me to                          the bathroom, then I woke up                              in his bed.                            I remembered                             his husband’s name, and that                                             he lived in Caracas, that                   we had *** and took                            a shower together, that                             his mother, dying from leukemia,                                                slept upstairs, unknowing.                                                                     I wept in a stranger’s arms,    cradled by their tiny physique.          I wept               for our beloveds.

That Time I Cheated
