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.
Paranoía

Sufro de la paranoía.
Soy venado más que zorro
Zorro más que perro.

I suffer from paranoia.
I am more deer than fox,
More fox than dog.

forraje más que venado
Muddy river más que forraje.
me remueva.

fodder more than deer,
rio cenagoso more than fodder.
You stir me up.

Cuando me toca mis olas ondean
Mis microbios evuelen
Mis insectas se alertan
Esta agotador.

When you touch me my leaves undulate
My microbes evolve
My insects go on alert
It's exhausting.

marchanse venado, zorro, gato.
Ya con las sangres calientes.
Dejame ponerme, regressan tomar
Al ratito.

Go away deer, fox, cat.
Enough with the warm-blooded.
Let me settle, come back later
for your drink.
