Xavier Villaurrutia was a Mexican poet who I think I'm going to
attempt to translate in March once the bar exam is done (this time,
for fucking good I hope!).

This is how is North Carolina Blues, which was dedicated to Langston
Hughes, ends:

Confused
lips and bodies,
I would dare not
speak in the shadows:
This mouth is mine.
In North Carolina

The original in spanish of course flows a whole lot better and there
are some wonderful sections with lines such as:

A bodiless hand
writes and erases black
names on the chalkboard

And, with that, back to distinctions between the CA and Federal Codes
of Civil Procedure...which should be written in terza rima.
