About Last Night

I love how

our eyes light up

when we see each other

yours bright like the earth from space

mine blue like ocean

You tell me I look pretty

I tell you you look handsome

palomas.

in plastic chairs

in the evening air

cocooned by leaves

hanging from our private palm tree

we share about our day

salsa, guacamole, pollo, tuna, y tacos de camarónes

al centro.

smiling at each other

You tell me how happy you are to be here with me

I tell you how grateful I am to have you in my life

Nowhere to be but here

walking next to you

touching grandfather trees

that have watched over these streets for years

home.

holding each other

swaying to the music

you lips smiling on mine

you take off my dress

one button at a time

Calma, mi vida.
