Cactus
2 years,
That's how long i can go without love.
Thanks to my heart,
my lungs and rib cages,
serving as protective layers,
I'm able to store
the love i received from my previous relationships
For whenever I need it.

Descanso
Beside this wooden cross
By the cross of the desert cactus.
The coffin-bearers rested:
"Pray for the soul
Of Manuel Rodriguez,"
And remember
That death is the end of life.
Cactus
The cactus scrawls crude hieroglyphs against the sky;
It reaches with twisted, inquisitive fingers
To clutch the throat of something and question
Why.
