How the wind as she flies
Up the cliffs, from the salty
Dove waves, stormy mar
de cortez
Ocean mami
To kiss many besos
My throat
In this Latin dream,
Ensueno,
with ene
Her music sweet-sliding.
How gray in the sky
Competes
With the ocean
To signal the storm
Her darkness still forming
How violent the pink
Of bouganvilla y fachada
How deep dive the dolphin
To unknowns with bravada
My window is crooked
The glass, it is drafty
I hum out of tune
With a salted Sol melody
I tell you of nothing
But bring you here with me
I love all of everything
If only this instant
The palms, they are quaking
The maelstrom is building
I dance in monsoons
My dress, wet and clinging
You sigh for my body
Our sweat is commingling
We love like the mourning
Of doves in the evening
The dogs, they are howling
Iguanas up-downing
The streets though they’re cobbled
are trash-filled and dusty
My home, it is nowhere
While church bells are ringing
Our lives, they are melting
While the children are singing
Slip now between waves
Through the portal
Of dreaming
Come here, be my witness
The door, it is closing
I laugh, while my hair flies
Wild as the ocean
I love you in secret
And pretend it is nothing
We sway with el vino
But no one is watching
The moon calls the blackbird
And mountains are burning
We cry for the poor ones
And then we go numb again
I know that you love me,
We fight, and make up again
Leap now, through the crack
In the sky
It is narrowing
Our home, she has died
And the dream may be ending.
