Rick Moody to his FaceBook friends June 9, 2019:
As some of you know, I operate occasionally as Rick Moody, Life Coach. My theory is that those who have sometimes botched life are in the best position to celebrate those who are doing a better job. As it happens, I need some new letters to answer. I have run out of letters. So if you're in need, send me a letter here. My only caveat is carbonatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09613206155728498730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6334011.post-62430579639818792192018-12-14T20:31:00.001-05:002018-12-14T20:31:48.319-05:00
ROBO
"Was Andalusia here or there? On the land . . . or in the poem?"
-Mahmoud Darwish
I must admit to this outright theft.
Before the crickets could impede me,
I reached outside my window
to grab as much of Andalusia as
I could in the palm of my hand.
I took the evening's silver
from the olive trees, the yellow slumber
from the lemons, the recipe for gazpacho.
I made a small carbonatorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09613206155728498730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6334011.post-10824067882324700602018-12-14T20:26:00.001-05:002018-12-14T20:26:32.689-05:00

Less halos on your empty head.
Perhaps your academic whoring
Has sucked soul, lit a torch.

Up to your Department Chair or Dean—
Pretend to care, consult Tarot cards
That would not move even one racist hair.

Glad you made
it to this maroon
day Ms. Maureen
Those wasp footsteps
on your skin
behind you
in the dark
with Melania ink

hurry suck
you like a flame
sucks a witch before
it engulfs her soul!

DIAMOND BRACELETS WOOLWORTH DOESN’T SELL, BABY
How could you come home with such aplomb,
with another man’s consonance, his sperm
on your breath—then kiss me with female rhymes
to prove the linguist that you really are?
A gentleman is silent about tongue worm
indiscretions, tolerates the discomfort.
Some metaphors are meant to remain secret
in a marriage. Oh, you didn’t want to wound,

He could not pretend extreme unction
walking his hardwood floors--
castanets ripping tack-ka-tack-ka-tack,
pounding duende down to diminutive.
He refused the safron colored salve
offered
by the provincial priest. "Tigaon" he said,
or was it "Tawi Tawi," where he met
the mahogany head on. Impacto talaga!
