My thoughts on

La Limpieza

This poem takes you from the Limpieza de sangre to an instructable of How to turn your bleach stained red bathtub white. Or thats just this reader's journey. With a word like Limpieza, the reader will be forced to lookup the meaning, kind of like running around for a beg, borrow, steal and now you have spent some time for the poem. With that hook and images like dove-bone-dirt (When I first heard of bone dry is how I feel of dove-bone-dirt) and russet (red potatoes came to mind). With this tete-a-tete, the poem has lodged in my mind and awaits a knock at a further date. Thoughts during an ambulance blare are universal where they flow like cries between birds when they hear an eagle. JGApoet shows this poem as a filigree of her time-warping abilities.
