Poem

Luis has published poems online and in print at Blue Collar Review, Guerrilla Poetics Project, Mad Swirl, Unlikely Stories, and Yellow Mama Magazine.

"...Where is the tooth fairy in all of this?..."

"...immaculate lawn and fluffy cushions..."

"...loss of things you used to have..."

"... there was a calm like never before..."

"...In January I could start off fresh..."

"...despondent as all hope is slain..."

"I got nothing to give, reader..."

"...This path was carved for me..."

"...Whoever put this curse on my life..."

"...I am old in my dream..."

"...There will be a text..."

"...a hat with a black spider logo..."

"...Bathed in salt rain you will find me..."

"...I will not tell you the name of the poem..."

"...My invitation is only for you..."

"...Astronomers can watch the skies like a math problem..."

"...until a thought came to my head..."

"...Poetry tries to take this curse..."

"...dark places where light is just a flicker of hope..."

"...Was it pointless to hope and hope every day?..."

"...Heartbreak will get you to drinking..."

"...Every sweet heart will break..."

"...I rid myself of the noise that clutters the brain..."

"...Death says nothing at the door...."

"...distant like the love I am over with..."

"...They think I have lost my mind...."

"...Replaced, altered, that is how I feel...."

"...Its laughter was sharp and loud...."

"...this man, who knows not how to be..."
