Rosas Amarillas more lines

It was cold that night. I remember the moon -
        bright and sad.
And for weeks, we had coffee and walked
        through the park-
The park where, in the hot orange of one
        September afternoon, I had my hand
        between your thighs and we kissed
        beside the tree.


*          *          *


La primera vez que fuimos a España,
        tu Mama queríá que dormimos
        en cuartos seperados. Y una noche,
        cogimos en mi cama y estabamos
        hablando hasta las dos.



*          *          *


There are those pictures of you in Peru, at the
        party, with your hair cropped short
        at your chin.



*          *          *


A stream runs by your childhood home,
        where empty cans collect and the
        sun shines on the hazy water.
All this in a city.
