Love in a Time of Chicharon


Crispness is a virtue.
Though it may mean getting cut,
Savoring the taste in our mouths is sublime.
Worth it.

It is a lover who cuts you
With words like cracked diseased skin
But feigned strength yields and releases
With generous soft compliance.

In the end.
After The End.
During your end.
It is all you have.
Memories of a cactus in your mouth.
And ashes of the fire that was once in the rain.
