1.
In Philadelphia
A reconstruction of maps
taken alongside translation dictionaries
Watching trees out the windows--
Getting luggage ready to travel
backwards--eventual Visions
From one end of the universe--
As the one language of places
materializes location wise
central as the avenues & blocks
of condominium cities
and towns--las zonas combed
through by car, bus and subway
the poem, likewise, built in feet
Cafe Tacuba Reves/Yosoy (1999)
"y llovia del cielo
sobre arboles y mares"
(11/23/01)
2.
In Haverford suburbs, these trees
were once forests--prefacing chapter
in the wide rooms of housing
apartments on Old Railroad Avenue
hours from Boston andromedas
since the film Orphee (1950)
whose poets depend on radios and
in the spaces of the trees left
Require stanzas for attainment
How the west was lost to our
Acquired knowledge from songs
and poems--a yearly summer visit
to ocean and night winds Atlantic
(11/24/01)
