Twilight Tears

by

Daniel Chapa

Someone remarked, "You son-of-a-bitch!"
Their testimony rendered me an early ear itch.
When my mother never had the courage
To cower from an impending switch.

The flair for hopeless mutual denials
Leaves twilight tears in skeptical piles
The shining parquet floors abound
With drops retiring from eyes and smiles

Perillous fizzle from the mumbled words
Disaster denies that her child still disturbs
Resigns from the brothel she hath chose
Situates herself by uttering two unearthly verbs

Repulsed by ineptitude, and vindication lives alone
Inciting those with evil thoughts,"Leave your halos at your homes."
Unforseen by many, and carrying forth its fruit
Unearthly angels flying by do stupefy those in Rome.
