Will you Come and Work with Me?

19 agosto de 2008

atrévete.
capture with me
the old-man stories
of the woodcarver´s association.
play on the floor
(inhabited by cockroaches)
with a little boy
with silver teeth.
there are fish
(with eyes)
in the pan
over a wood-fire.
eat them.
marbles
in the sand
cracked with throwing.
stop and watch.
try out quechua.
laugh with them.
Edison sits on my lap
finally quiet.
my leg feels wet—
no other clothes.
oh well.
one day—
A long time.
sit by the wall at sunset.
eat foriegn fruits.
(me duele la panza)
play with dirty hair.
(manaña piojos)
watch fútbol—toma café
in a menú.
incarnational.
Cristo en carne.
well done,
good and faithful servant.
