Tonight I write about my life.
About its curves, and rough edges...

Maria did warn me once,
with all the love between her teeth...

Remember how much
we talked about our dreams...

There was this one time I was late for history...

Its not too late where I am,
but its late enough for me to know...

Just know that I am my mother's only child. And I...

I am overseas now.
in the plane, at some point...

My languages are nothing
but prove that I was smart enough...

You do not know me yet,
but I have dreamed about...

All my life I have been mourning
the deaths of people who still inhale air...

A sunflower
amidst roses...

Your teeth cut through
a cherry, the way I wish...
