I think of how your bare skin

Looks next to mine

Piel con piel, hueso con hueso

And I just want to be naked

Emotion in motion

My mind losing all strategy

How do I span the distance

Between your crooked smile

And my impatient lips

I could count the words

You send to me in a day

On the ivories my tongue strokes

After your tongue stops the duel

Translation lost in spoken words

But never in how our bodies speak

Boca de piel desnuda

While your hands hold nothing

But my waist never failing

Never wavering to keep

Me still and standing

My face bent to the cracks

In the wooden floor

Listening to the traffic

On the street below

The open window because

There are no sounds

From you —not yet

Traitorous body can't be bridled

Piel de gallina en mi piel desnuda

Reveals my anticipation

My expectation

My exaltation

Each time you touch me

I am filled with an

Unmistakable feeling of bliss

Felt only with a new love

You understand what I crave —

Sweaty, who-cares-if-someone-

Is-asleep-in-the-next-room-

Take-off-my-clothes-and-

Take-me-now lust —erotic,

Spiritual, emotional, erotic,
Emotion-in-motion,
Make-me-yours,

Piel con piel, hueso con hueso

Translations:

piel con piel, hueso con hueso - skin to skin, bone to bone

boca de piel desnuda - mouth to naked skin

piel de gallina en mi piel desnuda - goose bumps on my naked skin

He had no cage to dance around

Until the hands of the clock aligned

My heart always leaped in

His cardinal direction

Falling asleep and waking

The same time as he

Did I fall into his dreams on

The nights he fell into mine

Did he whisper once

This is not my home

But I will stay as long as I can

Was his suffering worse
Than his dying
He never complained
Tears choked me

Constricted my larynx

My lungs

My heart

Until the pain became so

Unbearable

A silent scream edged through my sobs

I curled my fingers through his fur

His pain wreaked havoc with my soul

I was voiceless next to his moans

My heart rent at our silent good-bye

As his eyes closed

His body relaxed

His last breath

Silently

Expelled

He looked just like he did

When he was

A puppy.

Too much complication

Too little conversation

He turned and walked away

And all she could say was

Good-bye and amen

Sitting in this broken-down room

On this tattered chair

Smoking one more cigarette

Soaked with smoke and tears

An almost-empty glass

Reminding her she really didn't drink

Reminding her of their

Not-quite-completed affair

Reminding her how she crawled

Into bed with him

Their fingertips not quite touching

Sharing the same space

Same time but never

Glancing at the clock

Reminding her she almost

Fell in love with him

Now begins the shroud weaving

Scraped knuckles and tiny bruises

Fight the loom's shuttle of Fate

Half-forgotten conversations fade

Warm nostalgia turns cold

Reminding her she's allergic to alcohol

Good-bye and Amen
