Charles Lara Poems

We waited to be saved
and made sure
that every living thing
we came across
...

Orange slice
inside
my mouth
zesty juicy
...

Red summer
scent dances through
my open windows,
wraps itself
...

Sleep sleep sleep
deep magnificent sleep
cradles me like
a mother holding
...

The
Red Moon
slept
easy
...

Waiting for the slots to roll
in my favor
I place another dollar
and a second
...

Today it was
twenty years ago
on the 3rd of June
where I found myself
...

Changes come
Changes go
Changes make
The Rattle Snakes glow
...

Back in the days
when I lived
on Taylor Street
across the street
...

Today is
the same day
...
