El Fin del Mundo

To the man with the toupee

who shakes his fingers

like James Baldwin Jazz

To the man with the mustache

who grins like grains

on fire

To the man with the oval face

who cries

like Guanaco snow

To the man who claps

like shots on San Martin

that howl with the strays

To the director drunk at the bar

sipping on a blonde

like thirst itself

To the painter, screaming

with paint for the sun

to stay awake

To the Patron rosy with thought

like the taste

of a garden apple

To the writer

stuck in a New York minute

like Tango dancers pressed

AgainsT the MorninG

“4 Pages that-a-way”

Lonely days alone I think of you

You come to me like that 40’s ad

Frozen smile, smilin’ the way you do.

We went for a walk down to the metal café

You giggled of the time we met,

Two pens in my pocket, facin’ the other way.

How can I kiss hurt so much?

The tender memory of a touch

From our hope and tears

Down the road, oh loveless fears.

You told me it was a letter you had to write

So I gave you a pen, knowing full well

The lover was time, and you were sayin’ bye tonight.

Two years later the message still in stone

Fingers locked in windy love

Time was tongue tied, why oh why the moan?

How can I kiss hurt so much?

The tender memory of a touch

From our hope and tears

Down the road, oh loveless fears.

Why can’t we give it another go?

Things are different now,

Babe I promise, I’m in a different flow.

That’s the way of things

Alone and dreamin’

Two children on hapless swings.

Handful of Goodness
