36  Days

English woodcut, 1547 Cicero Writing His Letters Artist Unknown         Reads like 36 years This strange chapter In this anomalistic volume This mendacium vade mecum We turn the pages Day by day An exposition of aberrant acts Written in crayon But we are Truth In the face of Untruth We are Honesty On the field of Dishonor We are the art On the canvas of thought The harmonic timbre In the vibration of souls We are the love That will destroy enmity We are the liason To Cicero...

Tierra de Quinientos Años

Las Flores Amarillas, EM Gibello           We are the gold in the ore The magnets in the lodestone The ice on the mountain We are the mists of the swamp The dust of the trail The leaves of the jungle We are the ghosts on the ship The gypsies on magic carpets The strangers on the train We are the fish in the streets The ants on the walls The pigs in the mud We are the breath of the innocent The song of bee eaters The agony of illicit love We are the rain of yellow flowers The shade of almond trees The flood waters of bananas We are the alchemists in the lab The revolutionaries in the square The lovers in the garden In this land of five hundred years...
