On-Line Floricanto Marching into Spring

1. "Always Here, a poem in response to SB 1070," by Rich Villar
2. "Los Santos Gitanos" by Odilia Galván Rodríguez

5. "Hip-hópera de dos inmigrantes" por Carlos Parada Ayala
ALWAYS HERE
for Arizona and everywhere else
by Rich Villar
lacking a proper entrance
into a poem
about Arizona Senate Bill 1070
prompts me instead
to tell you
about the flamboyanes blooming
in Doña Yeya's mouth
every time she speaks
about her children,
or the pasteles that do not
wrap themselves
until blood is offered to the masa
or the boys she sent to Germany
who came back headless
and quoting Bible verses
or the girls
with twenty years of bruises
at the hands of those same boys
who were told asi es la vida
without the slightest sense of irony
who shouldered Nuyorican babies
dutifully to Bayamón
dreaming about a nation
under which they cannot
legally claim citizenship
or parrandas of gold stomping
flat the Jersey snow
forgetting that coquito
never meant cold weather
or the act of forgetting
beneath every aguinaldo
because civil cafesito
and politics cannot coexist
and we do not
