Five Poems From Barbeito:
Riding Horses Through The Streets, In That Time, Nature's Switch, Metropolis, and Storms On The Sea

Riding Horses Through The Streets

Riding horses through the streets
Where the rabid dog greets
The forest is strewn with dead centaurs
And the promised love
Never arrived

Riding horses through the streets
Where the cool women talk
Where the coffee shop flock
Hide their wallets
Adore their silver

Riding horses through the streets
Make me a woman that
Is sturdy and mean
Make me a woman like
Hell has never seen

Riding horses through the streets
The carnival of dances and masks...
Lanterns imitate the sun
And I know I why
The good birds weep




In That Time

All the colors of the world
Lit up like rainbows
And the crescent moon
Laughed

Summer palm trees
Smiled for the light rains
By the streets where vendors
Sat

Puerto Rican mysteries
And huge families by tables
While straw hats rest in the
Shade

Gloom got swept away
And fields were straight
While the afternoons stood
Mellow




Nature's Switch

Rainy shingles
And the rabbits
Grow in gardens
For innocence

Sunlight thru
Forest trees
While snails
Move on leaves

Crows fly
While gray squirrels
Run along branches
To wake up bugs

Wildflowers yearn
To grow from winter’s
Dread and
Grow they may




Metropolis

Grand cities where radios play
But we got no time for those
Cool low-down ways cause
Each has one real time there

Shipping and receiving docks
Where the corridors of boxes
Sit idly and gather dust
And pressure washers sleep

Old accident cars and trucks
Broken in the sun windows
In a million pieces angels
Have fled from that place

Over civilized and everything
Has been done we can only
Wait for the night and say a
Little prayer to an absent God




Storms On The Sea

Storms on the sea
Moss on the old boat
The workers clearing the deck
Old clouds groan

Whales move away
The reefs are uneasy
Sands and plants
From the depths

Mermaids and sharks
Sirens and treasure
Calamities lurk
Poseidon waits

Storms on the sea
Anchors and chains
While the wind
Has no mercy
