Nunca

By: Anonymous

 

You make my heart sink deep down into the tips of my toes like fingers trying to reach loose change beneath cushions

You kissed my breath and it seeped into my lungs and back out to where I could see it in the clouds

The kisses must fall like all things- back to concrete, they’re stepped on

Your skin feels like breathing in steam

You are a drink from SpongeBob’s Salty Spitoon

You make my heart stretch filling every crack and hole- smothering my face- snapping back into place like short zippers on shoes

We soak in the grey incense of rage

You wrote to me with your loudest voice

You sipped the boiling water until it felt cold

Siempre de mi mente

I’ll wait for you by the staircase at 2
