Alexandre Nodopaka Poems

On my knees
I cop a plea
into your intimate
confessional
...

No no no it's you
that loves no more

You had him a puppet bouncing
...

May 24,2008
cruising up & down
not far from LA in San Pedro
I was stumping along W 7th
...

I write biblical poems
on diminutive pages.
It necessitates an economy
of meaning where even
...

It is a twisted sense of God
shrouded in eagle and flag-adorned anthologies
of patriotic lyrics screaming:
...

I'm sorry your woody broke.
They don't make them anymore
the way they used to.
...

I thought of stringing
A cascade of words and claim them
To be flowing poems
...

I call to inform you that I left you.
For another woman. I can't stand any
longer you being out of style
wearing outdated shoes and ugly
...

I'd paint the scene with more sensual contrast
so that it shudders glimmers of amber grass
at the foot of a swaying Arjuna tree.
I want to imagine small bunches of russet leaves
...

are a source of irritation between her and me.
They are very small except they deal with
quantitative arithmetic.
