A cartography of the blank and oblivious states

The man I love will
most certainly one day
fit in his doodles with my tattoos
write promises on my thighs
and poems on my back 
and songs on my belly.

He will recite the poems
and shout the promises
and sing the songs 
when I start to forget 
this is how he will be able
to bring me back

this is how he will be able
to bring me back.

  1. I love the title of this poem, Kenia as well as the redemption of the lover, who is constantly repairing the bridge between himself and the speaker. I think it is good to be brought back by a caring, tender heart.

  2. The final echo continues to reverberate ~
