Monica had a baby
Black brown white?
Abuelita looked ashamed
Making the sign of the cross
Ai Santa Maria!
Watching the game
Tata drank another beer
Eyes half closed and red
A shake of the head
From Tia Lupe
who knows who the father is?
Oh Jesus help Mi Familia
Travesa! Cochina! Mijitia
Above Monicas bed
The Virgin of Guadelupe
Half smiling upon Latina mother...

Huddled in the dark shadows of time - alone
Thoughts swirling above and through me - a tempest
Above, below, side to side, my empty home
Bleary, dim images of tired years play out
Upon the stage of yesterday, of days gone past
Haunting me like a thousand demons from hell
Under tight closed lids my eyes still cast
A blanket of sorrow upon my...

Nice poem. Thanks for the website idea, i might think of making one one day! 
Maria's Prugatorio
I am writing a short story about a young girl in search of meaning
here is a couple of first paragraphs
A pasty sweat covered Maria's slender body, like a think layer of warm cellophane, stifling her pores. It was the middle of summer in Fresno and the August heat always smothers Valley residents into a drugged-like stupor. In May the air conditioner...

This is a poem by a first century BC erotic Latin poet named Catullus. I will first give the Latin then my own translation - all of Catullus' poems seem so modern - take note that my translation sticks tight to the original meaning:
Salax taberna vosque contubernales,
a pilleatis nona fratribus pila,
solis putatis esse mentulas vobis,

confutuere et...

I read and translate Latin. Currently I am translating Erotic Latin Poetry from the 1st century BC. here is one
Catullus Poem 16
This poem is pretty raunchy and actually conveys more foulness in the actual latin than is translatable into English.
My English Translation
I will fuck you unnaturally and I will burst you into pieces
Aurelius, the passive faggot
And Furius, the shameless...
