Palomas En La Quinta
Quique González
Doves in the Estate
You used to draw mansions
on the hill by the highway.
I wanted to fly planes
at the end-of-year party.
After Starsky and Hutch,
at the hardware store, in the back,
we’d sneak upstairs...
It was like that every day.
Then we’d sneak
into the pool,
of the last summers,
to steal ice cream
and binge until we burst.
Every day can be a great day,
but some days,
are even bigger.
I wanted to give you flowers
that I’d steal at night on your street.
After throwing rocks,
doves in the estate,
we had to jump,
to sneak upstairs...
It was like that every day.
Then we’d sneak
into the pool,
of the last summers,
to steal ice cream
and watch couples fuck...
