bracero tráeme en tus brazos largos
y llévame a los pies de la luna
en el rojo de la noche podemos trabajar juntos
dedos en dedos, con piel de estrellas
tus brazos, tus brazos
aguantándome otra vez

i will love you as much as anyone will love you
as much as i try to love myself
wholly and fully

(like the round curve of a not yet ripe peach,
like the circular embrace of a filling moon, like the freshness
of a bite of arugula dirt grit in teeth, or a smile from a stranger).
