Of broken arrows
'10 / I hear your nomad blood beating...' by © Juan Barquero, courtesy of the artist
unfurl the fire
aglisten upon their flesh
of broken arrows
lips of sin
'12 / An avid feeling' by © Juan Barquero, courtesy of the artist
infiltrate her warmth
with ice frozen slow by night
carved by lips of sin
shards of Venus
'18 / The lush chant' by © Juan Barquero, courtesy of the artist
bottle her bruises
in ochre vessels of glass
made to be broken
