Shouldn’t this river unite?
Shouldn’t this slim pulsor of life
Be the thing
That is our
Communion,
Commonness,
Coinhabitator?
Bloody Separator
Cops and Fences
Attitudes:
Come in,
Bienvenidos,
Stay out, Go to hell,
What have you been doing
In Mexico?
(What have you been
doing in your stinking
booth, vato?)
Bloody Separator
Tear down the concrete
Let it flood and flow
Maybe my neighbors could
Row past me and I could
wave, and the next year
I could flow,
too,
waving with delight,
teeth saying
Hello.
Once a year
Tear down the
Bloody Separator
Get me Wet
Let us all be Wet
Let’s be Wet
together
Cojoined
in the rio
Bravo/Grande/Separator
