Two words
you paired and stretched to fit
between us
Bitter and beautiful on my tongue:
Más despacio.
More slow-space:
A translation in my mind,
distant and young and heavy
with so much smooth hair knotted-up
to tie off my twisted thoughts
from escaping.
If only my sheer, shiny verbosity
could challenge
all the air
of that slow-space
you so tersely placed
between
us.
