Welcome to Miami
Upon waking, he had
hoped she
might have seen him
in a whole
different light ..
Maybe, in honest
rich colours or
even some rare ones ..
But hey,
who could possibly
know for sure
and at what point
or cost, take note tho’ ..
He always made
such a big thing out of
being a poet ..
Then not long after,
good morning,
she said, as she lifted
her head and placed it
back down again,
swiftly, in the nest of
both palms rested
lightly on her elbows ..
And then,
she yawned, welcome
to Miami sir
just be sure to have
a good time
while you’re in town ..
But in the interim,
I must say that old Cuban
stamp in your
new English passport
looks cool ..
Are you from out of state
by any chance ..
Right now, I’m not sure
he replied,
but I don’t care anymore ..
Then leaned across
and kissed her shoulder ..
Just inches below
the hummingbird tattoo ..
She lay there,
smiled and said don’t you
dare tell a soul ..
It was meant to be some
kind of swordfish ..
But hey, your fingertips
and tongue on my
wings and my dorsal fin
like that will
sure do nicely for now sir ..
