We are trees
our roots
network
with the roots
of other trees
our branches
grow
with desire
of touching
other branches
~ Francisco X. Alarcón
Alarcón is a poet, editor, and critic who writes in both English and Spanish. His most recent publication, Body in Flames/ Cuerpo en Ilamas, is a bilingual collection of poems published in 1990.
