for Manny
I make the girls quesadillas and eat the cheeseCold and delicious, in between flips.
I arrive early for my vaccine, bright lights big WalmartI’m nervous, I know what I know, or…
I watch the puffy mourning dovesOn my balcony ledge on a mid-March day.
And when you are readyEmergeAnd enter all of those spaces and placesThe coffee shopsBookstoresMuseums…
We all want love.We all want love.
I loved and I lovedAnd I felt that loving was important
