Thank You

Love is a journey.

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
