as I see it, I have poured a whole lot of breath into this blog
I have 2 short pieces. one is the piece I first read at Café International. the host was Ramu Aki. he was known for his colorful attire and commanding presence.
De donde eres? ------------
where does the poetry come from
reside originate begin in my body
not necessarily from my head or heart. probably
my fingers or lower back
ancient as blood as rivers of truth
running red and deep through our veins
poetry has a pulse, it is a living breathing entity
which allows me to be a vessel for its power
it is the way the ancestors speak to all of us
so listen carefully for their whispers
their laughter
their warnings

Dear Santa Claus,
I have been a good girl this year. It's all relative though, isn't it?
We are not so different you and I. We are jolly and generous.
You are a Sagittarius, maybe? I have a Sagittarius rising.
About my gifts, perhaps a laptop would be the best way to go.
College practically requires I have one.
It has been good working with you. Your attention to this matter is appreciated.
You know where to find me.
Yours truly, Juliana
