scorpio e cerveza
I picked a scorpion
from the bottom of the pool
picked it up with my Frisbee
showed it to the girls
her mother said that it
wasnt the poisonous kind
and that they find them
all the time;
in the pool
in the laundry basket
in the
saltine crackers
I opened a beer
and poured it into a cold mug
I drew a chair into the shade
and watched my wife
float on a green raft
with shuttered eyes
I drifted
away
while scorpions and hurricanes
worked in whispers
poised and waiting
in the bandaged flesh
of my mind
