cinco de mayo

cinco de mayo


it may be the symmetry
fifth month fifth day

just as spring raises
its soft soft head warmly

but he knew it was her
a mouth warm wet blossoming

& he knew the celebration
the beer & wine & food

were no mere piƱatas
or sombreros on the sidewalk—

it was that her mouth had said
i am yours, all of me, yours

without speaking a word
until his blood knew:

yo no puedo hablar acerca del amor
pero la boca y las manos lo pueden mostrar
