Hebert Logerie Poems

Honey, be a little loud
Don't be too, too loud
The neighbors are nosy

And pray that you land on a huge bubble.
...

Nothing Is Impeachable These Days
You can feel
You can overbill
You can seal
...

Let's take a long walk
So we can have a long talk
About everything under the sun
And anything on earth, hon.

Pero no te llamaré algo vergonzoso.

No te llamaré por tu color
...

Tout le monde a un nom et un nom de famille
Mais je ne t'appellerai pas quelque chose qui fait honte.

Je ne t'appellerai pas par ta couleur
...

"Mujeres de color" suena terriblemente peyorativo.
Me pongo muy enojado, ardiente, ofendido y combativo.
Cuando escucho estas palabras horribles que farolean
...

My friends, don't be fooled by the amazing beauty
Of the cool spring this holy season. This year,
Things are weird and outlandish; there is a deadly virus,
The coronavirus that has already killed people in the motels,
