To Demigods and Totems (accepted for publication)
T o Demigods and Totems Your Aryan eye saw the catman running on the ledge of my roof and wanted to accuse him of revenge. Your Aryan eye employed my uncle, the rapist, and his son as attendants to my three curvy sisters, staunch believers in Estée Laude r and vintage pin-up photography. Your Aryan eye has no morals, but it has perception. It does not bond, but it is critical, it cannot cry because it doesn’t know the phases of the moon, and it’s never seen a pond, or had a son to call its own. Your Aryan eye created an eye-centered Universe complete with demigods, and totems. Its own eye army was dead set against all other eyes because it wanted to drag me out of contemplation and into action. Your Aryan eye is of the opinion the poor fear nature, and the rich fear boredom and not one of the two know what to honor. Semidioses y Tótems the poem will be published in Spanish. I will put it back once it gets published. © Sergio A. Ortiz, June...
