Ligero

Heavy skulls relieved of duty.
A thousand thoughts cast out,
swept away;
Worries dispelled
in a cloud of bittersweet
Smoke.

Fuerza.

Between the way you gripped my waist,
and the things your smoky voice trailed into my ear,
You were damn near perfect.

I wore sunglasses for four months after what those hands did to me.
But I miss them as though they were my own.

Soñar

Your lips met mine with all the subtlety of the big bang;
And your hands roamed as though the curves of my body
were the long road home.
Your eyes searched mine like a blind man’s first sight;
A mystery before you, seeing everything and nothing.

It felt like losing you.
It felt like goodbye.

Cesar

I’ll hang myself by silk
from the rafters of my mind,
and sway with the wind,
like a calm and restful tide

I’ll end it all at night,
in the silent gaze of stars;
They’ll sigh down on the Earth
at the life that’s come to pass.

They’ll bury me in winter
on a sunny, icy day;
They’ll say I was so happy,
then forget, and walk away.
