Siesta

(In response to Tera Muskrat’s “Fiesta at the Siesta”)
Homey fingerlock love
& pop & play that blue fiddle,
that funky music, brown
& rightboy, know what ahm
sayin–No, eh?–well
what ahmn sayin is grace
ten times over, 80-proof
cuz all dem sin-yoo-reetas
& fools know that
a rose
between Carmen’s teeth
is a rose
is a rose,
no?
