Alexis Pena Goco Poems

your presence was like the sky,
delicate in its intent and tenuously present
or like a shadow that followed me everywhere,
discomforting in reproach noticing fixedly my faults,
...

Oh song shark -
though thong, dark rubber leggings
beseech you, marked-cover beddings
beneath me; Inhales and exhales
...

Momma, daddy
I love you too much
Pappy's happy
...

I dialled your number and called you about an hour ago
it appeared to me that you were not interested in answering
I was glad that you did and we got to talk
...

Assemblage of immorality
a series of my low self esteem
congregating from the past
For shame! My regrettable truths
...

you arrived at the door
how becoming it was of you,
arriving so timely
hurriedly devoured the reflection
...

at times I burn the cinderblock
to rhyme or mime a nice pile of burnt cinder
as shavings I keep in a sack 'n' lock
...

(use of famous quoutation[s] within poetry)

Here I sit booked and waiting
I recall your voices and remember
...
