Emilio, I remember the crack
of your ass in your shacked jeans.
You pleading to “swap gums”
whispering, You don’t know how bad
I want to blank you. What I thought
you meant was, I love you.
If I’d moved into your gingerbread eyes
dolled all up to ride your vesuvial sled,
O Broken Darling: broken luck.
