A third generations tortillas and construction work
by Gabriel Dozal

dimascus dozal dairy tuxedo

         torpedos
         tilly is
         two
         timing
         with
         carp
         today

when you got up
from the sand your
bum was slightly granulated
you went into the pacific and
proceded to be eaten alive
by jelly fish

rotting pomegranates
nuzzled between crab grass in your yard
each blade befriending one another

you fashioned all 50 states
out of old flour tortillas but
west virginia was hard cause
it's all bumpy

your dark rimmed glasses
a stuffed animal in one
hand and a forty-five millimeter camera
in the other

our house balanced on a string
and my innocent girl looking
back at me

         occasionally

spitting seeds

pomegranates on your table

         and it's about
          to rain
          your cowboy boots are off
          your cowboy boots are on

creeping shadows and

          chocolate on ice

boarded up our room

          with
          plywood
          drywall
          wet wall
          plaster
          and
          spackle
          but I couldn't
          patch up your
          mouth
          which will always
          be ugly
