3 nights with Concepción

I Been Got!

What is it about Concepción leaving you olvidadizo
the days you scornfully dreaded a scene:
2 oblivious amantes kissing on the subway.
¡Ridículo! was what you called it
as they carelessly clung to each other like coalas
¡Ridículo! you reminded yourself as they invited unwelcomed want:
mimicking their monogamous P.D.A. What is it about Concepción?
Making ridículo mindful of the honesty in risa
beaming lovely, senselessly smiling broadly
like you had a good desayuno.
Impulsively absentminded of shame’s monotony
you forget to watch for baches en las calles now.
Your tambalea suddenly re-discovers the marvels of grace.
Her touch reminds you how good it is to feel.
