THREE AMIGOS

Amigo on seawall

Wayne and amigo on bench

RWP#95.."mash" 2 poems together. Poems not satisfied with. I mashed SLEEPING ON THE EDGE and OPPOSITE SIDES OF BENCH (in italics) then every 5th line I added a new line (BOLD)..anyways this what I came up with

.

THREE AMIGOS

Above the saffron pavement

sitting on a bench in Havana

all I can see beyond him

drinking rum

I am a happy stranger

with Jesus lying on the malecon seawall

we talked about poetry

the Havana coastline retreating like a hem

like beat poets

getting drunk to get thirsty

covered in the cobwebs of the breeze

cultivating a rose by Jose Marti

enclosed in turquoise they slept

revolutionaries in love

having nothing having it all

along the malecon

we attracted kindred spirits

from the patches of seaweed

and Hemmingways for whom the bells tolls

writing when the writing was done

I saw at first glance

baseball Castro and Cuban music

azure ripples of the Carribean Sea

a common destiny

three amigos rum poetry and dreaming.
