I Don't Write Anymore

By Camincha

 

instead I sit very still 
or stand very still 
or lie very still 
with my eyes closed and 
recreate the last moments 
we spent together. 
Your manly beauty,
resplendent covering me, 
beside me, behind me.

Your ponytail undone,caveman¹s
halo in the semi-darkness 
of your bedroom. Your hands, 
butterflies, gentle, colorful, 
fluttering all over my body. Your 
kisses specs of gold making my 
skin glow in the dark, my heart 
swelling, pumping, too big for my 
chest. My ears overflowing with 
your praise your enjoyment.

Next morning you feed me
strong café latte, you make me 
quesadillas. You ask, jalapeño
cheese or mozzarella? 
Can't handle anymore hot peppers, 
I say Mozzarella, please.

I don't write anymore 
instead I sit very still 
or stand very still 
or lie very still 
with my eyes closed and 
recreate the last moments 
we spent together.
