I had my first one night stand with a Puerto Rican boy from Reno

He was a beautiful enigma.

A bonified butcher knife

whispering against my throat

on a wooden dorm room desk.

 

His hands drummed

to beats my heart missed.

My lungs forgot the in and out,

we’d been perfecting

all these years.

 

He brought me closer to divinity

Than I had ever come before

I can see him now, eyes ignited

to match my joint.
