Me siento con paciencia, en coche y en olores de tráfico y flor; en camino a ti.

Breathe.
To me
bed of flowers is a pillow,
kiss is a delivery man,
float is an ice cream pizza that we split around cobblestone corners in city center on a
warm
early
fall
afternoon.
And then I film you;
and you get all shy and hide 3 pretty diamonds but eventually you warm up to it and play for the camera and yell “¡feminista feminista!”. Then we had to go because it was getting kind of late and the metro isn’t safe as it is. And mom knows best, but not everything. So we make sure to make love on the sofa before the parents come home.

Breathe.
O’ warm
subtle
breath
of ours, thank you.
Un aliento delicado sure makes for a pretty afternoon.
