mexico
oh mexico! the sun’s so hot i forgot to go home
they re-assign numbers he said trying to
reassure me this won’t happen forever
forever a time frame incomprehensible to
this grieving sister whose dead brother called
her this afternoon
i called him back +his voicemail picked up
MARTINE! it chimed his mexico name i wanna
be re-assigned to the place my dead bro’s phone
is calling me from because in that mexico he is
stirring risotto +waiting for the cab from guadalajara
carrying me home

FALL 2018 ..still out here begging for a re-do..or 2..
