Titingó
A poem about an afro-caribbean word.
adjacent to clusterfuck —
a mess pregnant with onomatopoeias;
flying chairs, curses & ¡PUÑETA!.
useful when a drop spills the cup —
handy when heads are split, spilling blood;
mothers crying and wailing ambulances.
a sign of the ancient prey we were —
a name for old, epigenetic anxieties;
a Jungian crystal trembles on my tongue.
