work_excerpt:
From THE LAST JAZZ FAN AND OTHER POEMS.
There is a small room in a blue house
“The art of Frida Kahlo is a ribbon wrapped about a bomb.”
--Andre Breton
There is a small room in a blue house
where memory is the scent of dahlias,
the sound of green silk kissing steel.
The cruelty of the corset.
The strength of an insistent palette.
Reflections of impossible realities.
The garden still remembers
hummingbird and caracara
plotting revolutions.
In Tehuantépic the women
hold fast to heritage and power;
the colonists are coming still.
What is irretrievably broken
might be finely wrapped
in the fabric of Mexico.
On a small bed in a small room
in a blue house, a death mask
a mirror a rose.
