Brooklyn, New York
for, para, after, después de Paula
dementare as in to errant
this mind, scathes mountains for a saint’s
kiss, only she would be lustrated his lover.
ia as in the swelled feminine
country, inplagued, mirrored in her
silvered flowerbeds.
demens as in the outside of her
warped hands, senses that allowed to make
wild home: adorn in linen fractals.
de as in far away
from the knighthood of a woman’s labor
at the hands of an intolerant son.
mente as in the mind that laments
a howled protest when a poem’s voice is finished.
mens as in to think, my ground
christened in release of her gift: she
remembers me every return.
