... Darjet Poems

Down and out L.A. poets
sip out a red sun.
Santa Monica coffee’s pricey
take a holiday back downtown
...

Tanja sits in a park
the brown from her tanned skin
falling out
blister on one toe
...

I walked a 1000 lifetimes to end up at your door
to you it looked like I had just walked right in
it was half opened
it was half broken
...

All prayers bring me
closer and further away from you
All songs undone
on these streets we walked on
...

Stepdaughter and beggars
where rivers turn to salt
10 years is a long time
to finally taste the sea
...

All the tears used to set the bricks on the buildings
the statues on the ramblas have seen
through the corners of their eyes
from the rush of the morning
...

I would always crawl
to her place
half dead
cold
...

A city which has a heaven
and a end of the world
a hospital
a lover’s lane
...

In the past
they split up the globe
and sold souls
now they sell hearts
...

Raval crimes
sigh
I stare into the sky
repeatedly
...
