Cupid's Tea
By Rita Sabanal Laurencio
ave maria, full of patience,
sold for a poem and a broccoli. but
would a pink rose and
a dappled statue
feel at home
while spring warms a coy
lily...
speak! big maria, please.
turn your yellow pages,
"oh salute, salute, to you
maria, full of grace!"
shattering silence
drifting into
wild kisses.
hosanna in a fertile womb
the same romping flowers sweeps maria
'til her wild jelly of broccoli
was born down.
"ave maria purissima,
is it a sin if i take aspirin!"
