“I come home,
To die of hunger.
But my death is brief
Because the body
Desires
Its own resurrection.”
Ronald Baytan, The Queen Sings the Blues: Poems

“I lie on my back
And you open me up, because
Positions change but not the axiom:
One cannot be top
If one cannot be bottom.”
Ronald Baytan, The Queen Sings the Blues: Poems

“Warm water travels
From my hair down to my toes
Like your fingers caressing
Me. Now I know how lonely
Water must be: To posses
Matter for a moment only to flow
Slow to its death in the humid
Air.”
Ronald Baytan, The Queen Sings the Blues: Poems
