Sometimes I wish I had done things otherwise
I wish I had just cheered you when you supposed
that you loved me, I wish I had just led you on…
But I don’t regret, even if I had the chance to rewind
the clock, I’d still guarantee that we wouldn’t work
because it’s not only true but also the right thing to do…
You are a holy grail every lad wishes they would get
and am just a lad you would soon forget
I just protected you from the guilt of having pulled the
trigger by taking the bullet out of the chamber
even before you learnt how to use the rifle.

In a palapa in Yalapa
Drinking mezcal moonshine
with a local named Rudolpho
He waves his hands in circles and squares
in candle shadows

Eyes turn inward to see

becoming a mind in the present
childlike wonder
big moon rising
pulling internal tides
stretching roots
grounded in the earth

Rudolpho knows how to laugh in colors
He knows how to dance Zorba style
arms held high to the diamonds in the sky

Nothing was achieved but everything was fixed

Zooming towards a universal experience
among the universal mind

Don't know where the night went

Rudolpho knows the ritual of the sun
Told me what I needed to know
singing
"Hurray another day"
while a parrot calls my name
and a scorpion slips into my shoe.

A palapa has no walls
I didn't either
all I was
was windows

Drinking mezcal moonshine
with a local named Rudolpho
he knows all about goodbyes.
