Gabo has passed away

Gabo has passed away
March 6, 1927– April 17, 2014

From Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I learned there are old men
with wings,
drowned men so gorgeous
they must be named Estéban,
women so stunning
that when they die
they ascend to heaven
in plain sight,
and banana companies,
like Monsanto, are always ready
to steal, or contaminate, our lands.
