30-something Mexican-American writing for fun. Love my dog way too much. Life is hard enough, let’s try to have each other’s backs. And tell me what you think about my writing!

A poem about bad news and tough times.

And my submission for #poemsabout #betweenthesheets @brokenspinearts.bsky.social @alanparry83.bsky.social

#vss365 - cyclone
#vssdaily - weather
Brave Face I look past her smile. Peer into my mom’s sparkling amber eyes And see the cyclone of her thoughts Whipping and lashing the inside of her mind. She’s scared. I am too. Can’t have my own storm wound her further. So I write it down, where the words can rage Between sheets of paper somewhere way, way, waaaaay in the back of a bookshelf. Let’s sit in the garden. The sunshine feels so nice today. Tell me how your flowers grow. How are the fruit trees? We can hold these blue skies for a moment. Yes, our forecast Of angry thundering merciless terror raining down May well take form above our heads one day. But today is not the day.

The Old Guard Ancient medicine says disease Comes from ghosts in your blood. Well I don’t feel sick… But I can feel them in there. I’ve no need of ofrendas Or flores de cempasúchil. They are right here. The floor is cold, put on socks mija. She looks hungry. Offer her food. This needs more salt… And when life aims to cast a fatal blow, They race through my veins, Turn tender flesh to bronze, Turn tattered fists to gauntlets. They whisper. We’ve survived worse. They scream. ¡Partele su pinche madre!

Consolation I look up to you in your golden tower Bought in blood and bones Feeling no comfort nor faith That one day you will atone. But I have one single thought, Always warms my broken heart. Time is just. And one day we’ll both be dust.

I do love when ghosts are described not as terrors, but as who they likely were in life: smiles, songs, and often pretty mundane.

Its starkness, tone, and even the vertical columns created by the format almost create a sense of a wall that the victim has put up between themself and what was done to them. Beautiful and heartbreaking.

With SNAP benefits expiring, help keep families fed this holiday season by calling and emailing your governor. Ask them to feed folks by:
- declaring a state of emergency
- using the national guard
- calling a special session

Let’s do a good deed today ❤️
