“the glory of the garden” (RS)

EASY
You touch a woman
and she trembles
you spit her out and she comes out
covered in saliva
you can destroy
a woman
how do you destroy her?
easy
touch her
spit her out
touch her
spit her out
between one thing and another
tell her that all of a sudden
you have begun to love her
that simply
you just love her
and that’s it
finally touch her
and spit her out.
Also, An Interview with Legna Rodríguez Iglesias about Her Book My Favorite Girlfriend was a French Bulldog by Amanda Uhle (2020). “… I cannot conceive a piece without laughter or play. In that laugh and in that game is all the sadness, all the restlessness, all the anguish in the world.”
Founded in 1878, Translated by Serafina Vick.
Rum produced and matured in Cuba
is pleasing to the throat
of the man produced and matured in Cuba
the label of authenticity
that they put on the bottles
has a woman with a sword
and a lovely dress
that seduces men and women
white rum or dark rum
is pleasing to the throat
of the white man or the dark man
but the knot in the throat
no one can get rid of.
