Cecily
Caribbean moxie on a dolly face,
the tone pours out like
pecan praline expressed as an
algebraic formula
If the hands get any
where near the hips,
pull up a chair.
You are due for an
hour of unfiltered standup
Three hours later a lil-ol-me smile,
naughty niña from Juarez,
a range bigger than Wyoming
I wish she loved her
self as much as I do
One night she drove into a
parked car and removed every
inch of interior except the
part containing her
This is what some people need.
Some seeds do not
blossom until they
pass through fire
I am eager to see what she
becomes, and till then will
enjoy the liberties of a duet:
to look someone square in the face,
to sing and smile and match words,
our voices mixing in the ether as
the lights guide us home
Notes: The last line is a quote from the Coldplay song "Fix You," one of the many tunes we do together.
