Mexico Poems
All Fall the virgin went from house to house
La guadalupana
Empress Carlota
Guavas,
I am my pretendiente
I hate the vapid taste of limas
If I were a fruit I would be choconostle, take it from me it's delicious.
Last night the full moon was in eclipse.
Paranoía
To my new pastor
Viacrucis
About sweeping the floor.

I hate the vapid taste of limas
But you claimed to like them,
So I always brought you a bag
To remind you of home.
This year the fruits rot on the ground
And I hate them more than ever.

Odio el sabor insipido de las limas,
Pero tu afirmabas te gustaban
Por eso te llevaba un costal
Para recordarte tu pueblo.
Este año las frutas se pudren en el suelo
Y las odio más que nunca.
