All I Ask

Hola mi gente,

This is one of my recent attempts at poetry that I mangled a few years back.

All I Ask

Be my slow-grind dance,

my birthday earthquake.

Be my ginormous spiral staircase

in the middle of a Puerto Rican rain forest.

Be my ripe mango

overflowing my mouth

causing rivulets of sweetness to

run down my chin.

Be my whirlwind week

in the Spring Break of life.

Be the waves crashing on my beach

on some forgotten island.

Be my puzzle with one piece missing.
