Dear Fer,
I.
My dad says that I have to learn
That my anger, my being,
Is a summation of a clash between two
A combination of mom and dad
Of mexican and italian and anger and passion
But am i always that clash
Or am i also that space in between?
The half assed
The forgotten the
Unsure the
Not worth it
Insecure
Is that why you dream of someone that isn’t me?
And maybe your guilt it just a consequence of my moonlight
Me watching you in your sky,
Luna in your bed
Luna in your mouth
White luna dripping
Oh
This is not a poem of the drip drop of me in you
But the drip drop
Dropping of me from
You
of myself from
You
of myself
Moving further from
you
Not existing in any of your in-between spaces
But you being all of it
For me
The half assed
Forgotten
Unsure
Not worth it
Insecure
Love
amor?
Do you love me?
II.
I am the watcher
the knower, the omnipresent goddess even when you don’t want me there
I am what all those old Mexican love songs are about
Luna Luna, Ana Gabriel, Gabriella
She is smashed into a collection of craters held together by dust and stone
A collection of her wounds held by the string of your words
And decimated over and over by the secrets you hold so dear to your
Dick
La Luna is the clash but she is also the in-between
The light glaring, interrupting your dreams and our late night fucking
I, (we), are the violent love and violent seizure of your (our) heartbeat
Slowly still healing
I am that clash, I am that in-between
I am my father and I am my mother
I am Mexico and Italy and all of that fucking passion
I am love making and I am fucking
I am the unsure and I am certain
I will interrupt you and I will reconcile this
