@RubenQuesada In Spanish it's called a déicima, typically an elegy, or satire or a roast on Día de los Muertos. I like the form.

Wow! I just found this. I've had to be so good at forgetting I forgot I read this poem, or that I was so candid about when I wrote it, "...the first poem I wrote after...my mother's brutal murder...." Thanks, Juan Felipe Herrera (@cilantroman)

@lizzhuerta @neilhimself Wait. What?! No one does death better than a Mexican.

We are witnessing a judicial coup in process.

If the President and Congress do not restrain the Court now, the Court is signaling they will come for the Presidential election next.

All our leaders - regardless of party - must recognize this Constitutional crisis for what it is.

TREASON! INSURRECTION! INCITING A RIOT! ("Glocks, ar-15s, body army...") Knowingly planning to lead an army against the United States of America, and overturn the election, the will of The People! Just to name a few of a "whole list of criminal offenses."

Yikes! Just bought my nonrefundable ticket & hotel for my 50th HS reunion. My mom (RIP) made me do it. Like she made me go to my 10th when Emplumada was published. Turns out I'm the only one with her own Wikipedia page. "Go show off!" They'll have a book table & are MDs.💰😀
