look at my shoes their holes
my toes he says
si si no me molestes
american change in small bells
a nickel copper bite gone
and gone
step pyramids


hair drying
sloshing water wringing
at bordering lavandera
between the washer and dryer
conquistadors


maria mans the kitchen while
guests who play
tennis order orange juice in
vodka without ice
over jaguars


we speak spanish he said
uniform telecommunicate wirelessly
caress my job
mayan nose
feeding my family
which could be one law


master the lock
master and slave the gate
open and close
revolutions
semi permeable locked itself in the villa
semi automatic unlocked the safety


frying grease white shirted scar
paper hatted paper brown cara
comida de juan (this is good)
downtown and tijuana
in red and yellow


a boy en trafico waits
of black aztec hair
clanging gate over metal blood
while vendors sell and settle
mis chicos ceramicos


veo los ojos
as crossing a fence
these sony ojos
a watch undesirable
watch undesirables
and both watching
tin shack and hacienda


hail mary full of grace
ceramic mary
maria's morning
angel of salt
trembles hummingbirds
