I love my wife like a bewildered duck
loves finding biscuits beneath the moon.

She fills my pockets with impossible Tuesdays,
teaches teacups to hum,
and convinces clouds to wear hats.

None of it makes sense,
which is exactly why I love and adore her.

Prescription For The Disillusioned
by Rebecca del Rio

Come new to this day.
Remove the rigid
overcoat of experience,
the notion of knowing,
the beliefs that cloud
your vision.

Leave behind the stories
of your life. Spit out the
sour taste of unmet expectation.
Let the stale scent of what-ifs
waft back into the swamp
of your useless fears.

Arrive curious, without the armor
of certainty, the plans and planned
results of the life you’ve imagined.
Live the life that chooses you, new
every breath, every blink of
your astonished eyes.

DONDE NO VUELVEN LAS GOLONDRINAS

No habrá cantos al amanecer,
y el alba llorará
la canción que ya no trae el viento.

No crujirán las ramas
esperando la pisada
perdida bajo la tierra.

No volverán
las sombras de las golondrinas
buscando el calor de un nido.

No recordarán nada:
muere el recuerdo entre botellas.

No recordarán...

Solo silencio.
