Each night she came as smoke ring mist
that floated lazy from your mouth,
crooning Tangueray poetry.
A tabletop is littered with
red playing cards and 'tater chips,
and soggy lip-rouged ciggie butts
from fiery redheads tipsy with
one too many vodka shots
to consummate a truckers' stop.
Her gin-sling sequined cocktail dress,
split up the sides & down the back,
hides nothing less from your mind's eye.
She ransomed you her miracles
the first time when you heard her sing
your favorite songs to you that night.
You raise aloft your whiskey glass;
a send-off of a time gone by,
of stains she left along the bar,
while semi-trucks downs

craneo de un caballo
Soon it was clear that the moon
was a horse's skull,
and the air, a dark apple.
The gearshift shudder of
a heavy-laden truck fades,
all the while, the
sustained drone of bees;
past their prime and sluggish,
their wings cannot be stilled.
A dull glint behind the eyes
of a yoked pair of oxen,
standing at a crossroad
between myself and the fields
that bake in the August
of a Spanish sun,
waiting for the
hammer and anvil to sing,
for the echoing refrain
of rifle shots beyond
a stand of distant trees
shimmering from spent cartridges
in the waning afternoon
of your exquisitely curved spine.
