Tomando Café
Fernando Delgadillo
Having Coffee
I see you having coffee
Like you have for so many years
And it's inevitable for me
To tell you that I love you
That I feel like remembering
The game we have forgotten
That under the table
Our hands take flight
And roll and roll on the floor
Tangled in the mess of your hair
And get up to make ourselves a monument
To love, to lust, and desire
And see you smile
With that gesture of someone who knows they have sinned
And feel again
Those legs that bend from tiredness
I see you having coffee
Like you have for so many years
And my mouth waters
And I still crave you
You tell me I don't know what
While I am somewhere else
Imagining that your mouth
Opens and swallows me
And roll and roll on the floor
Peeking into the void of your breasts
And get up to make ourselves a monument
To love, lust, and desire
And see you smile
With that gesture of someone who knows they have sinned
And feel again
The bruised knees and elbows
