caro
by Kristin Lueke
after Bad Bunny
So listen
I'm going to lean my brain into yours,
here and now, before god and mountains
because I had a memory you were me
and couldn't that be gorgeous,
you luxuriating in my supple skin,
my wavy days and stonesmooth flow
take my shameless loving me, you take
my wanting too, look at you, sparkstruck
lion queen, you could take the weight
of all this being and never miss the beat
