POEMS OF CARL RIGBY

IF I WERE MAY

WORDS OF A CAMPESINO DURING THE INAUGURATION OF THE MAYPOLE (fragment)

Everything classial Nothing racial

Scentimental them

Playing to: Open the door

From whom the clock tick tock

There is something written in our hands

Alive and well and living in Nicaragua

Accusative index (even if the finger is already stuck in the trigger)

DENDENANTES “FREEDOM OR DEATH” IS OUR POEM

For the seismologist

HA HA BLACK AND WHITE SHEEP 

THE WORD IS MY SHEPARD

UPON BRINGING IN THE BETTER DAYS TO COME

Here is your prepositioned in verbal-constant and sound money that the capitalist boys from school throw at yourself in full sun so you do not walk in the dark or out of tune

Sunrising

THIS ONE WHO’S TALKING TO YOU IS NOT STAMMERING

I do not pretend to be a player I play for real because I know the rules of the game

Warning

DUST OF STARS, WE ARE MADE OF DUST OF STARS

Too much of a silly citizen

PEPSI COLA

I am NiCaribbean (version)

The Scholarship of the Guerillero

Sandinidad

Tongue Twister Triangule

Letter to Mr. president with animals attached, for his macro-zoo known as a Presidential House

A FRUIT OF GENIULOGICAL TREE (OF LIFE)

ONCE UPON A TIME IN OUR COUNTRY

SUCH A BAD VENTIST IS A VERY SADVENTIST

OUR PEOPLE’S PRAYER
