poema

i tried to write a poem in spanish. it sucked. i clicked delete before i was dumb enough to say yes, and admit to the world i'm a faulty communicator in a language i thoroughly love

i'm mad about it. i'm mad at it. i hate how it turns its back on me after rolling its tongue in my ear. it's not afraid of me

sometimes can i pry its eyes open and force it to see what i see? just once so i won't have to try to convince that we're on the same team. just once

i'll love you long enough until i'm tired of trying
