Nanduti

She said are you available

For a video call

I mean, yes, if we ignore

An entire poetry marathon, then I’m good

 

But that’s mine, not yours

You had something to share

Precious and beloved

And I want to see it

 

Nanduti

An ene over the first N

Which colonialism made mute

Paraguay’s finest folk art

 

You sent $200 to family there

No

I don’t care what colors

Just tell them to produce their art

 

I will take it all

Because I can

And I will share it with you

Because I can

 

And the marathon stopped

While we sat on the curb

And admired what can’t be bought

Smiles

 

Spider web intricacy

Emotional weaving

Colorful capture

And reveal
