LITERARY
By Yani Perez
Hmmm
It’s bold
I like it
Have you ever
Seen words
Dance in
The moonlight
And then
they ask you
to spin with them?
Maestro
You were the words
The dance
The spin
You must feel
Drink
Live
Poet
“I don’t drink”
Two out of three is okay.
Let me tell you how love works
Start with a hint of morning mist
A dash of merengue lust
A bucket of calid passion
Sprinkle rose buds of sweat
Pop in a fruit of patience
Don’t forget the words…
Maestro
I will not forget the words
I will not forget …you
Thank you
