La llamada telefónica















(Inspired by Ana Gabriel and Vicky Carr's duet“Cosas del Amor  circa 1991)


Hola amiga! Necesito alguien con quien platicar
pues me siento muy triste, mi novio me acaba de dejar.
Ayúdame por favor no se que hacer.
Yo se que tu eres la única que me puede entender.

Te dejo tu novio…que horror
tratare de ayudarte ere mi amiga mejor.
No te sientas triste, el no te merecía.
Te vas a encontrar ha alguien mejor loe veras algún día.
El desprecio todo tu amor
y el dejarte será su mas grande error.

Es que no sabes que lo amo tanto?
Es por el que derramo este llanto
su abandono me destrozo el corazón
no dejo me largo sin ningún motivo ni explicación.

Amiga no sabes cuanto me duele que estas tan deprimida
eres joven y muy bonita, sique tu vida.
Sácalo de Olvídalo, sácalo de tu mente
sal ha divertirte ya a conocer mas gente.

No quiere seguir viviendo, es mejor terminar con mi vida.
Si, morirme para quitarme este dolor de encima.
Ya nada me importa, mi mundo se termino
todo por que ese estúpido me dejo.

El corazón es muy frágil con el no debes jugar
si alguien te entrega su corazón con el no siempre
lo debes cuidar.

If you don’t get it you don’t get it




If you don’t get it
you don’t get it
get it together
get it done
get it in
get it ready
get it fixed
get it stolen
broken
get it gurl!!!!
get it right
get it alone
get it massaged
get it away
get it over with
get it revoked
overturned
overdone
Just get it.
Annulled
appraised
get it quick
get it fast
get it all
get it on
get engaged
more than tanning up
my ring finger
my mind
on you
wait
with you
your words slow
the world down
and I take you
into my mind invite
you to come in
take a seat
we sit
on the floor
the way you sometimes
do when you consume.
I tune into you like a kid
caught up in the excitement
on the tube.
You-tube
tell me your story on loop.

Get engaged in our love
lets play dirty
in the mud, with the worms
digging weeds
long slim stems
the tree shedding its star shaped
flowers onto the dried leaves
sounds like a stream behind us
put the heavy stuff behind us
we see it like
we see a 16 wheeler next
to us as we flow with LA traffic
my legs pumping heart flowing
no slip ups please.

Nuestra historia
de amor como nunca
hubo otro igual
para mi
es para mi
tu amor que me
embarras como
mermelada
tan solo la palabra
te hace sonreir
pero cuando el sabor
te llega a tu lengua
Merrr-me-la-da
you’ll see
If you don’t get it
you don’t get it.

I am that kid





I am that kid
that you blow up
abortion clinics to save!
Collateral damage
those whose flesh
got torn in the mess
that’s what you get for having
such thin skin. I believe in my cause
nothing gives me pause. Nothing gives
you pause, pass laws that cut
close, shave those rights for that
woman who carried me.
You didn’t reach her, she did it on her
own decided to keep her fetus
protected, clothed and fed us
me and my sisters. The others
she also chose to keep, if you keep you have
to provide. She came here just for that
to provide and you call me an anchor
keeping my mother rooted to your
country, your life line. But it is my life you
want to save isn’t it?
Isn’t that why you blow up abortion clinics
scare doctors away from doing the healing
but women will have their way lets do it with healing.
Don’t take away her right to control her life
don’t take away her right to provide for
the lives that you too say you cherish so much
don’t punish her for her rational choices
like a bird building with what she could
to give her girls freedom. I am
that child all woman now
grown, that used to be that kid
that you’ve blow up
abortion clinics to save! Let me spring
my wings, catch my feather in your eye
breath, wide my existence countering
your hypocrisy, wings casting a shadow
on your hate, darkness engulfing darkness
expansive, let’s grow in those hollow spaces.

Butch Metro …sexual


So gay it's straight
Like a steel refrigerator
Cold milk, olives and beer.
Porky, rolly Polly
Stalky like the tin man
But yes con un corazón
Que siente tu ausencia
Siempre te recodare como mi travel Buddy compartiendo habitaciones
Hábitos como el de cantar por las mañanas
"Despierta, despierta Claudia," eres como el sol
Interceptando mis sueños
Brillante como una sonrisa
Una mañana joven me conosistes
Y un anochecer New Year's Eve te reencontré bajo esa luna, esa música
Las sonrisas estrellando la noche
Al ritmo de las voces de mujeres
Lesbianas, latinas amor de mujeres
Armo de mujeres creando intima
Hace  tanto tiempo que no habíamos hablado compartimento aprendiendo una de la otra, tan sensual tu mirada lassoing me en tus revolturas de ideas
así son las rebeldes te agarran del cerebro como si fuera chongo
Stretching your scalp skin
Birth Goddess, mouth open
Así de abierto se siente el hueco de mi corazón.


Knock
Knock
...right there
And there my tongue
Wants to knock knock
Against your foamy walls
Cheeks-with-bite-marks-red
Your walls sticky with this September heat
I see you sleeping mmmK
Big k
Your knee
45 degree
And your baby but cheek
Perfect poke
Like a puppy eye
Under a blanket
Poke right there
With my perked lips
Feel that meaty thigh
Sushi on my tongues
Poke - po-ke right
There
(Insert ukulele right here)
I'll be your Island sway
Keeping it cool
Licking your skin like you
Like, let the breeze do.
I want you to meet my little friend
Had been hiding for a while
Feeling means every part of your body
I have been working my mind
-just be thankful I don't run on electricity
What a charge
That bill would be
What a charge I give me every night.
Like Betsy Ross but brown queer and better
I sow for my city I sow, sow for
My city this quilt
Call it a poem but rain
Or shine
It's transformed in your Brian
Bits and pieces
Like short sentences
Call it a poem.

Knock knock
...right there is the proof
In our documents
Have them in order
Prove your resistance
Existence
Resistance to continue
No looking back know
Mountain climbing
Grab onto to the next
Hook I keep it going
It's all historical and shit
