Live Nude Poems

Stay Home I should stay home more often that way I would know my destination. I believe the bathroom mirror would make a fine photographer. The fragrance of my perfume is all for show for the woman I love. Work makes me feel like taking a day off. I brush my teeth with garlic to keep the vampires away at night. If I had more time to live, I would forget so many things. I never know which way I am going. Born in Mexico, Luis Cuauhtémoc Berriozábal , lives in California and works in the mental health field in Los Angeles.

His latest poetry book, Make the Water Laugh, was published by Rogue Wolf Press.

Everything Crumbles How everything crumbles like a cookie, like snow- men who get too warm. See the sad faces sitting in rickety chairs holding a book of sad poems read from top to bottom. The moonlight poems are the worst. Silence fills every room in the house. How the tumblers and bumblers fall on slippery streets. They do not cry when their bottoms bruise up in the cold Polar-like pavement. Luis is the author of Make the Water Laugh (Rogue Wolf Press, 2020) and eight chapbooks from Kendra Steiner   Editions, including Make the Light Mine (2016). Recent poems have been in or accepted by Ariel Chart, Blue Collar  Review,  Escape Into Life, and Otoliths. He lives in California and works in the mental health field in Los Angeles.
