|
We once bathed on the moon
|
1 |
|
Me and you in a crater
|
2 |
|
The lukewarm water filled with gems and musk salt
|
3 |
|
The color of your eyes
|
4 |
|
|
|
|
The crisp sound of your fingers
|
5 |
|
Plunging into the water
|
6 |
|
Kept us alive
|
7 |
|
On the stone planet we worshipped
|
8 |
|
|
|
|
I painted the shadow your right shoulder blade
|
9 |
|
Left behind,
|
10 |
|
With frosted love that I kept
|
11 |
|
For those ‘special’ moments.
|
12 |
|
|
|
|
You turned around to love me
|
13 |
|
And your gaze
|
14 |
|
Like freshness
|
15 |
|
Baptized me
|
16 |
|
|
|
|
You looked so beautiful
|
17 |
|
Wrapped in that blue vapor blanket
|
18 |
|
With the stars’ shadows painting your skin
|
19 |
|
With silver white silhouettes
|
20 |
|
|
|
|
And once you unwrapped yourself
|
21 |
|
You sat naked on the crater edge,
|
22 |
|
Legs dangling,
|
23 |
|
As though you were five
|
24 |
|
|
|
|
My eyes devoured
|
25 |
|
The outlines I knew so well
|
26 |
|
And fell in love again
|
27 |
|
|
|
|
In love with the child playing in your mind
|
28 |
|
In love with the emaciated man that haunts your saddened eyes
|
29 |
|
In love with the lover that stands
|
30 |
|
In announcement of his manhood.
|
31 |
|
|
|
|
After we dried off each other’s bodies,
|
32 |
|
You sucked out my spirit
|
33 |
|
And made love to it
|
34 |
|
On a sea of marbles
|
35 |
|
|
|
|
Each defiantly containing
|
36 |
|
The words I could never find .
|
37 |
|
Words for each time I wanted to say “I love you”
|
38 |
|
Without the cliché.
