Jericho
You were tall
The half-circles under your eyes made me love you more
But really, it was the dark shining
ojos negros de amor
Pink lilies bloomed when you met father, talking fast
She was such a pleasure to have in class
I bathed in the light of your eyes,
like ocean waves lapping tender toes
With you I stuttered, a heart murmur like a step forgot
And the walls around my mouth came crashing down
