Howdy! Here’s a video of me and Steve Castro reading our poems for last Sunday’s Poetry + Play event at Syracuse Stage. Steve reads his poems in Spanish and I read his English translations of them. Then I read my poems in English and Steve reads his original translations of them into Spanish. This event was part of an afternoon of poetry in English and Spanish before the final performance of Espejos: Clean, a play by Christine Quintana performed at Syracuse Stage in Syracuse, New York on March 5, 2023.
Bad Habits
The coyote asked me for red meat. I told him that I didn’t have any. The coyote got mad and left. I called my first cousin. “Pablo,” I screamed with all my might. He stuck his head through the window. Pablo had such a big noggin, that it was a miracle that it could fit through the window. “I want meat,” I told him sitting under a mango tree that our grandfather planted before the civil war. Pablo was a butcher and he had horse teeth, frog eyes, rat ears and a nose like the witches who reigned when the Mammoth existed. “I’m coming down now,” Pablo yelled. Pablo approached me with a pot of meat in his hands. The coyote returned. The coyote looked me in the eyes and said, “I need a cigarette.”
Steve Castro, “Bad Habits”, published in PANK Magazine FW 17
