In the Waiting Room In Worcester, Massachusetts, I went with Aunt Consuelo to keep her dentist’s appointment and sat and waited for her in the dentist’s waiting room. It was winter.

New Coat of Rain New coat of rain, paint side walks rift through papers in dry corners, she wonders floor grease at home, tells her son where the hookah hung out and what too is important, long and broad she is the cobweb that will wait forever to be swept, hanging on so well, so [...]

Deathless Aphrodite of the spangled mind, child of Zeus,who twist lures, I beg you do not break with hard pains, O lady, my heart but come here if ever before you caught my voice far off and listening left your father’s golden house and came, yoking your car.
