LUIS CUAUHTEMOC
BERRIOZABAL Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal first book of poetry, Raw Materials, was published in 2004 by Pygmy Forest Press.
SETTLEMENT Waiting
on the settlement, three
million dollars, in
her grandiose thoughts. Enough
to buy off doctors, the
mental health system, birds
with human heads. She
pulls down her pants in search of
the man that was there,
shedding like a snake.
MIRACULOUS
BIRTH Miraculous
birth. Hope
was her name. A
ghost was the father. She
had his eyes. Wore
bed sheets for clothes. Walked
into walls. Overdosed
on psych Meds,
face turned pale. CARRY
ME AWAY Teeth
tear into
me. A
hawk carries
me away. In
this troubled
dream, I
am the
main course. I
smile. I
wake up hungry. I
taste the
meat on by
bones. The
hawk returns
and
I tear its
wings off. It
smiles. I
fly and the
hawk dreams
of being human.
