Men of our time

The border is what joins us

- Border lines, Alberto Alvaro Rios

The fence conjoins us
Cosmos contains us

Brave mom

When you drive, you dont get to peek much at others sharing the road. But in the passenger seat you are a witness to all kinds of things. I saw a mom driving a happy kid. The kid was having an icecream in the car.

A good poetry book site

Alberto Alvaro Rios

In A man then suddenly stops moving, is not afraid to make a leap right in the first para, from a literal act of chewing a fruit to a long term act of mulling.

In A small motor, why does the poet say that there is an animal in him and that animal has hunger, why does he distance the desire by two levels? Also in the previous line it is a mechanical motor and then it becomes animalistic and then human.

Every pencil is filled with a book

- Alberto Alvaro Rios

Every brush is filled with a scene
Every sword/gun a blood bank
injection a florentine of wellness

Alberto Alvaro Rios on poets.org, on ASU. In 'What abides' poem he draws on the 'walk' and extends it pliantly. In 'Aunt Matilde's story of the big Day', he starts writing about a remmebered day trying to be remembered on a day when nothing else is to be remembered and then extends it to years. In 'My Chili', Chili is so many things at once. Reading his poetry can give you many ideas on how to write.
