Unos Cuantos Piquetitos

Here—the bull

’s eye of my heart,

snappy red

flag against bone

white page.

Here, that electrical

cord—my jugular.

Looking forward to the

guillotine precision.

Here, the easy wrists.

Quick, neat, convenient.

For your comic amusement,

that Dodo, my womb,

pinched from disuse.

And here, gentlemen, ladies!

mis palabras.
