(Crucifixion by Salvador Dali)
Jesus Pose
Down on the ground
Arms spread-eagle
Legs figure four
The lamb, black
Head shaved
Goatee mocking
Messiah lost
In the ether
Real blood
Bullets flesh
Save for the soul
Soldiering on
Solder back
The halo of you.
Ang ha’s mitabok sa da’an (Snake Crossing)
Ang ha’as mitabok sa da’an
Nakurat ang driver sa habal-habal
Matud pa niya, ”Daku-a oy!”
Nagdahum ko nga sawa
Sama sa akong paa ang gidak-on
Apan pagka-cute man di-ay
Sa babuyon nga bitin
Naninguha pa gyud intawon
Og kamang sa lapukon nga dalan
Aron motabok sa pikas daplin
Maayo gani wala suwayi sa driver og ligis
Nahadlok man sab gud siya nga mopahit kuno
Mayna lang hinan-aw ko og Discovery
ug National Geographic Channel
Ug Animal Planet pa gyud
Sige ta’g kakita sa mga naturalists
Nga yano rang gipunit ang mga bitin
Ug moingon pa gyud, “What a beautiful animal.”
Diri sa amo-a, it’s only beautiful if we can put
An animal in a cooking a pot
Bantug rang hapit na mapu-o ang mga mananap dinhi
Slew (Song for You)
She killed me
I don’t know how many times
She kissed me
I don’t know how many rhymes
She told me
To write in cold climes
I come back for more
Each time she says I hate you
Her wicked smile sweet honey
To a fly caught in a web
Of desire and regret

Nice View Ruined
Her legs are two of the whitest
and smoothest I’ve seen
But she walks like a duck
Wasting the short denim pants
Clinging to her butt
Like a scared child
She can cause accidents
On the street
Or make your day
With her gait
