Maravillossa
The combustion process
Begins with your eyes
Scorching one layer of my cells,
On a wet day
That keeps us into each other.
My heart beats loudly thud!
Or is the thug in the folds
Of me that curls around
The fingertips and the saltiness?
When the burn melts away,
I stick my arms into the damp dusk
To tickle the moon under the yellow chin
And its laughter shatters star dust
On the likes of us
And we end up glittering,
Like a pair of scantily-clad quinces,
On the sill of a stolen day.
