Hi! My name is Néstor and I’m a broke-ass artist, a sex worker adjunct, a white-passing Latinx, an exiled Puerto Rican, a queer identifying, fat-bodied, and depressed individual.

Outtake

blurred

the portrait with my sister
came out, clouded

camera had its own plan
to unsharp

yet it came out with a sensation
two unemotional figures

expressing
a sensation of distance

Christmas Eve

The father has been in the hospital
for three weeks; heart attack. 
Not looking good, no longer coherent
vascular dementia, bedridden.

Expats

That day I walked into a barbershop in Santurce. That day the barber available was you. That day you were a gringo expat working a Puerto Rican job. That day you and I interacted and developed chemistry.

Daylight Savings Time

darkness dissipates
coldness evaporates
away with the stiffness
as the shell of ice cracks
and brightness outpours

Homage

Baking polvorones has always been a labor of love. I pay homage to my ancestresses. My grandmother taught this recipe to my mother, who in turn taught me. But this is not your traditional polvorón recipe.

Rejoice

since childhood
time is better spent
at the beach
where the tide
kindly remembers us
and pelicans 
bear witness

before we learned
the weight of ourselves

Bloodshot

rorschach
inside my eye
indecipherable
blood pressure
or high altitude
burst capillaries
a quiet explosion
deep dark
bloody maroon
worrisome
unsettlingly

Overweight Fees

I shall place my body in this suitcase.
Naked, because of the overweight fees.

I will enter and emerge somewhere else.
Always a surprise, becomes the destination.

Although I’ve been to Puerto Rico, home,
countless times, it is always an adventure.

Paradigmata

your account reading $1.03 
this political climate
the monkey brain at 3am
disagreeing with your sister
someone suggesting you are fat

An Echo Skips a Name

internally
no sense of security
what is harmless?
what is harmful?

chronically
numbed out
potential danger,
making me feel alive

terribly
I must be
why else 
would they treat me like that?

Instructions for Testicular Trauma

The first step is to undress. You must lift your arms as you lift your shirt over your head. Do this process slowly as you may end up tangled. Let go of the shirt once the wrists come out.

My love,

Thank you for blessing me

Maladies

Three pills for the aimless man…
Seven for the lord in his middle years…
Eight for a mortal man, doomed to die…
One for the plant lord on his couch throne…

Aromatherapy

A waft of jasmine permeates…
It rains a misty shroud,
everything outside, dead.
A beacon in the dark months,
its aroma caresses
and i’m carried,
drifted into a daze;
body softened,
mind serene.
A waft of jasmine permeates…

Cow

…I felt skinny as my belly dangled…

something is wrong with me or I don’t matter
are the hallmark of shame we never respond
to self-criticism by shoving away we have
endured past experiences of being
injured without trusted loved ones or peers

Disco Fever

As music blares out the speakers,
Los Fabulosos Cadillacs joyfully sing:
“Y que el silencio se convierta en carnaval!”

I dance in this small, dark living room;
my plants, hesitant dance partners.
“No te quedes que acá fuera es carnaval!”

Ode to My Feet

Oh, ugly looking things.
I love you so much.
You take me everywhere
while I reach a cardio high;
my heart palpitates with joy.

Horoscope

“People are happy to know you,”
read my horoscope today.

My brain immediately went like:
“Whom did it speak to and verify?”
“Could you show me proof, today?”
“How does it know they are happy?”

Paradise

Green thumb;
more like green fingers.
I thrive inside a planted terrarium.
A balanced ecosystem,
teetering.
It could become a mausoleum.
If I can’t care for my green friends,
how can I care for myself?

The Quest

I searched for Joy today.

At first, I felt lost.
I looked around my apartment;
behind the couch, in the cupboard.
The dust bunnies told me
they hadn’t seen her.

A Man on His Couch

Just lie on the couch.

All day.

Binge the show.

Empty the fridge.

Finish the bottle.

It’s all okay.

Just give up.

Tomorrow is a new day.

Maybe,

you’ll find the strength to restart.

BMI

According to my BMI,
I am morbidly obese.
My 275 pounds of flesh
should be 160 of bone.
Never in my adult life
have I weighed 160 pounds,
but the BMI calculator insists
that 160 is the normal
I should reach.

Clenched Teeth

Night comes,
just as drowsiness settles in.
Every noise-
the creaking of wood,
a car blasting music,
an unexpected far-off cry
stirs up a kind of storm in my brain,
a sudden, swirling whirlpool,
in which my mind
and the whole world are swept.

Thunder Thighs

My pants ripped today.
Out in public,
but no one noticed.
I wrapped my hoodie
around my waist.

Always the inseam.
These thunder thighs?
A gift from my mother.
The endless rustle
of flesh against fabric
devours every pair.
