aries saturn is guerilla
schoolteacher. wields bolo
& ferocious intimacy.
see the steel eyes to jugular?
paltik slung like a backpack
this is sunday school:
throw a makeshift grenade
& cut love deeper
the role of diwata is
hoochie liberation
tactics in homemade
arsenal, an armory
an armoire, do it
with a crown of poppy flowers
grab the head of hair at the root
& twist
do it barefooted
do it with the garden shears
in your backyard.
after,
you will live quietly on the mountain side with your kingfisher grandchildren, who bring home milkfish for you to fry.
