"Made in LA"

Tue, 09/10/2019 - 17:15 -- evapad

Adornamos la sala con embras; vino, rojo, negro
Es un carnival de color

snip,
    snip,
         snip
pasa me otra

Cuidado!
agara la tijera firme
jala los hilos sueltos
mira, asi

snip,
    snip,
         snip
pasa me otra

quatrocientos piezas
seis horas
10 centavos
enough for shoes from the swapmeet

snip,
    snip,
         snip
pasa me otra

My dreams are made of hilos;
a college degree, a woven tapestry held tightly in my hands,
mi mami le jala una embra suelta
y se deshace todo
