Thank you for the adventure you prescribed me
That amphetamine handing me the keys to the Ferrari red sunset
The haze of honeyed amber fading to satin black
While we sipped hot chocolate by the Pan-American highway
In the Cerro de la Muerte with your old tan rucksack
Thank you for dancing with me
Under galloping clouds flea-bitten and dapple grey
With cantering lightning’s crackle
And curling up with me in a rustic mountain café
By the fire flickering convivially
Thank you for that active volcano we shared
With its underground breakdancing bubbles of magma
Thank you for the ballet of turquoise waves
As we surfed the seascape’s panorama
Thank you for the loneliness you slipped under my pillow
Like a coin for a precious baby tooth
And for imbuing this whole empty house with you
The crumpled paper silence of your old room
With the window cradled by the papaya tree
And its juicy shrapnel peering in voyeuristically
The single forgotten white sock on the floor
Like a fallen dove, like a cotton treble
On a ceramic sheet with memory-notes freckled
Thank you for the goodbye because I know it’s not forever
For giving me alone time because soon we’ll be together
