Thank you, Juan are Crivello, for publishing “Picasso Dreams Broken Glass” on Latinos USA today.

Here is the beginning of the poem. 

Picasso Dreams Broken Glass
​In response to the insurrection at the U.S. Capitol (2021)

Thrust down with a fumbling hand
in the light of the slumberous moon
crashing into the crater in my chest
all that pain of after death, the broken glass,

the splintering cries of those who gather
by the gate & wonder where to go & who
to see & ask if there’s a place for their guns
or something organic to eat.

Why cast onto me
this surreal art of disharmony:
jumbling discordant shards,
the jagged insurrections of clouds, …..

(Please go to LatinosUSA to read the rest of the poem.)
