ROBO "Was Andalusia here or there? On the land . . . or in the poem?" -Mahmoud Darwish I must admit to this outright theft. Before the crickets could impede me, I reached outside my window to grab as much of Andalusia as I could in the palm of my hand. I took the evening's silver from the olive trees, the yellow slumber from the lemons, the recipe for gazpacho. I made a small

DIAMOND BRACELETS WOOLWORTH DOESN’T SELL, BABY How could you come home with such aplomb, with another man’s consonance, his sperm on your breath—then kiss me with female rhymes to prove the linguist that you really are? A gentleman is silent about tongue worm indiscretions, tolerates the discomfort. Some metaphors are meant to remain secret in a marriage. Oh, you didn’t want to wound, or
