Dreamers and Displaced
I am very pleased to have new work appearing in the current issue of Poets and Dreamers Literary & Fine Arts Journal: Dreamers and Displaced
Three of my poems including naomi,
along the rio grande
among carnelian melons
& orange grovesyou can hear the coyotes
crooning to a moon
wide and bright asthe river she loves
naomi crossed this borderland
for freedom cradling her infant…
on a farm in brownsville
“In 2009, the Department of Homeland Security
informed landowners along the northern edge of the
Rio Grande that the new border fence would be cutting
through their properties.”
Texas Monthly, 2011rust colored steel
cuts throughmelon & mesquite
chops this land in half
and only the ocotillo
they rode in silence
silenceacross the great river
silence
across the canyons…
appear alongside the work of many poets and artists of note including:
…at times the shadow
i cannot tell i sleep the blankets folded and unfolded todavía
still here para ti for you todavía…
…Songbirds return to the same spot year after year. Travel in flocks, rely on their neighbors. Safety in numbers….
…And we danced, under the freeway, wearing our chokers, handmade by native artisans, turquoise and silver and wood, there we were, and many, dancing…
and more. I am deeply honored to be included.
