forbidden fruit is always in season

so we do what we do
there in the dark
extricating ourselves from a thousand years
of taboo
long dead
like flat, dried oak leaves
pressed in between
the pages of a family bible

I tell you cities were destroyed for this -
and for less -
and all in all
it was probably
worth it

my virgin
of guadalupe t-shirt hangs over a chair and
if we could see
under her garments of white and red
and green -
the colors of mexico -
we'd see a chicana princess,
a mayan queen
