POETRY IN MOTION, featured on Los Angeles' MTA buses, puts poetry where ads for commercial purposes usually are and so you can read a poem while riding. I saw this one the other day on the #183 going down Magnolia Boulevard.
YOU CALLED ME CORAZON
by Sandra Cisneros C 1994 from "Loose Woman"
That was enough
for me to forgive you,
to spirit a tiger
from its cell.
Called corazon
in that instant before
I let go the phone
back to its cradle.
Your voice small.
Heat of your eyes.
How I would have placed
my mouth on each.
Said corozon
and the word blazed
like a bunch of jacaranda.
