I invite you to read this to friend or family member or pet, and invite them to close their eyes and take the things out of their hands, claws or paws. Cheers.
TODAY IS A DAY OF GREAT JOY
.VICTOR HERNANDEZ CRUZ
when they stop poems
in the mail & clap
their hands & dance to
them
when women become pregnant
by the side of poems
the strongest sounds making
the river go long
it is a great day
as poems fall down to
movie crowds in restaurants
in bars
when poems start to
knock down walls to
choke politicians
when poems scream &
begin to break the air
that is the time of
true poets that is
the time of greatness
a true poet aiming
poems & watching things
fall to the ground
it is a great day
Here I see fit to share the writing, the wanderings I have been doing in South America, in other compartments of my subconscious, and on the page. Whether we sing it, write it or sketch it, we have to share it. That is the last step of the artistic process, to hold it up in front of an audience, and say: 'Here are my ideas, this is my cosmovision (my comprehensive world view).'
